Madrid - Atletico Madrid will need to put an end to a recent goal drought if they are to have any chance of overturning a 1-0 deficit in Tuesday's Champions League last 16, second leg at home to Bayer Leverkusen.
Atletico, last season's beaten finalists, have only scored once in their last four outings in all competitions and slipped nine points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona after Saturday's 0-0 stalemate at Espanyol.
Their chances of beating Espanyol were hampered by the dismissal of centre back Miranda shortly before halftime, Atletico's third red card in their last five matches, which prompted coach Diego Simeone to replace forward Fernando Torres with defender Jose Gimenez.
