Xavi Simons came off the bench for Tottenham in their 1-1 draw with Liverpool over the weekend and was pretty impressive, taking three shots during his 34 minute cameo - with one of these attempts finding the target.

Simons didn’t have the easiest start to his Tottenham career as he struggled with the intensity and physicality of the Premier League, but has grown into the side and has a decent shot output to consider backing him for at least two shots in this clash.

Simons has taken 14 shots across his five starts in the Champions League this term, working out to an average of 2.61 shots per 90. His brief cameo against Liverpool last time out shows the potential Simons has to come away with a high shot tally in this clash.

Furthermore, Simons has taken 36 shots across his 17 starts in the Premier League this season (2.06 per 90), showing that his record in the Champions League is pretty aligned with his output over a larger sample size. 

This selection is also aided by the fact that Tottenham need to score at least three goals to keep this tie alive, so we can expect Atletico to sit quite deep and invite pressure with Tottenham expected to be the side that does most of the probing which can lead to Simons getting at least two shots away in this clash.

There is brilliant value with this angle when backing with Bet365, the exact same bet is priced as low as 1.17 with other major bookmakers.
