Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich have stormed past FC Rostov and PSV Eindhoven in UEFA Champions League Group D in the opening five rounds, leaving them no space to compete for the top two spots. The reigning Eredivisie champions hoped to at least reach the third position in this group and continue their European journey through Europa League. In order to achieve that, they will have to beat Russia’s second best team on Tuesday night at Phillips Arena.

Philip Cocu and his team definitely should avoid the same mistake made by Carlo Ancelotti and Bayern Munich in the previous round, when they have slightly underestimated the Russian side. Rostov surprisingly won the game against the German champions 3-2, which is one of the best results in club’s recent history. Despite that victory, the bookmakers have labelled them as big underdogs to repeat that success in Netherlands. The Selmashi to win is currently priced at 9/2 with bet365.

As already mentioned above, both teams love to throw their bodies forward, starting their games in very aggressive 4-3-3 formations, so we will back the BTTS option as our first betting recommendation for this match, currently priced at 4/5 with William Hill.

Rostov’s head manager Ivan Danilian was resting some of his key players in the last two weeks for this duel against PSV. Dmitriy Poloz will be leading the offense, looking to extend his scoring spree and become the hero of FC Rostov’s fans. Winning the third position in this group would be huge success for them without a doubt.

As for their opposition, The Peasants are having a lot of troubles in Eredivisie recently. A couple of unexpected draws pushed them down to the 3rd position, and now they are six points behind the leading duo Ajax/Feyenoord. During the last weekend, they have failed to beat the weakest team in the league Roda JC, so we will also be backing the double chance – Rostov to win or draw for Tuesday night
