Malmö v. Atl. Madrid tonight at 21:45 Europe Champions League .
The game is part of the fourth stage of the UEFA Champions League group phase. Swedes need a positive result to stay in race for the thrird place leading in the Europa League, they can even hope to the second place if they win the match tonight, but this is impossible. Malmo manager Åge Hareide is likely to make changes after his team lost 5-0 to Atletico last time out in the Champions League.
Champion of Spain is in a very good shape, considering that comes after four wins in a row. Two weeks ago, Atletico won the tour match with Malmo, score 5-0 on Vicente Calderon Stadium.

Atletico are undefeated in 15 of their last 16 matches in the Champions League (including qualifiers).
