Player to watch: Leverkusen’s Mexican striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez. From Oct. 15 till Jan. 22, he didn’t scored a goal.

Odds:
Leverkusen 2/1 to win
21/10 to draw
Atletico 13/8 to win
Prediction: Leverkusen is quality at home but will be without start midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, while Atletico is down star defender Diego Godin. Since it is in Germany, a draw sounds fair. Expect a fast start from Leverkusen and for Atletico to respond. Leverkusen 1, Atletico 1.
