Alaves vs Atletico Madrid
Deportivo Alaves is facing increasingly difficult exams in the 11th league La Liga against Atl Madrid. The crushing defeat in the previous week still leaves a wound and they will try to forget that when they appear at the Estadio Mendizorroza.
Saturday (10/26) they had previously arrived at El Madrigal to challenge Villarreal. The host won 4-1 in the match through brace Karl Toko Ekambi (13 ‘, 65’), while one goal was born from the efforts of Lucas Perez (50 ‘).
Facing Atl Madrid makes the atmosphere more difficult. The reason is, they have never won for the past three seasons with 2 draws and 4 defeats, even only able to score 1 goal and conceded 10 times.
The tradition is predicted to continue in the middle of the week because Los Rojiblancos have never lost in the last 9 matches, 4 wins. This record was successfully claimed after winning 2-0 over Ath Bilbao on Sunday (10/27). Saul Niguez opened the scoring on 28 minutes ‘, while the closing goal was scored by Alvaro Morata on 64 minutes’.
This achievement also helped Atl Madrid occupy the top 5 La Liga. Next, they tried to climb the top, shifting Granada which is only one point away. Jose Gimenez, Joao Felix, Stefan Savic and Sime Vrsaljko have all been lost to injury, but this problem is not expected to shake the consistency of Diego Simeone’s students, especially with the intense competition at the top.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.70
