Atl Madrid
No English team won before
Not a single English team has won at Atletico Madrid homeground. Atletico Madrid are having a strong form this season and currently leading the Spanish La Liga table. They would give in their best to proceed to the Champions League finals.
Full squad available
Diego Costa would be involved, so is Courtois. The keeper is given the green light to play against his club. Having won against Barcelona in the quarter finals, morale of the team would be high and they would not be taking things for granted.
Chelsea
No proper striker
Samuel Eto was left behind in England due to a knee injury. This means that the forward would either be Fernando Torres or Demba Ba. The chances of them scoring is somewhat low. Chelsea might even go for a full defensive play and end the tie during the second leg. Therefore do not expect a lot of goals from this game.
My pick: Chelsea +0.5
