Team News

Atletico
Deportivo Alaves
  • Marcos Llorente could start in an inverted midfielder position for Simeone, at left-wing-back.
  • Pablo Barrios played in Atleti's 3-0 win over Celta last weekend, and was rested in the Champions League, he should be preferred by Simeone in midfield for this one.
  • Antoine Griezmann was described as 'undroppable' by Simeone. He will be the first name on the team sheet.
  • Samu Omorodion should start, he scored last week in a draw against Villarreal.
  • Ianis Hagi could have a sniff in the team, having been rested last weekend.
  • Ander Guevara could also feature in midfield, too.

Prediction

  • This will be a massive challenge for Alaves. Atleti are unbeaten in 18 home games at the Wanda Metropolitano.
  • Saul Niguez will provide an extra option for Simeone to unlock the visitors' defence on Sunday. He is joint top for big chances created per 90 this season (0.9).
  • What's more, Alaves have not won a match in six attempts and have not managed to keep a clean sheet in any of those games, either.
  • Atleti win, very likely.
