Team News

Atletico
Girona
  • Pablo Barrios is suspended for this one having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Villarreal - Saul Niguez will be primed to fill in.
  • Both Rodrigo De Paul and Nahuel Molina return from their suspensions.
  • Memphis Depay is out with a muscle injury until the end of April.
  • Ivan Martin is suspended having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season.
  • Miguel Gutierrez and Yangel Herrera return from their injuries and will be available for selection on Saturday. Savio should return to the left-wing.
  • Ricard Artero is a doubt with an ankle injury.

Prediction

  • Atletico Madrid welcome Girona to the Civitas Metropolitano on Saturday afternoon, only three days after their Champions League quarter-final tie against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
  • Given that Simeone's squad doesn't suffer any significant injuries in the UCL, they will be the favourites in this tie, seeking revenge for the 4-3 loss they suffered in Catalonia back in January.
  • Girona have fallen a little since the new year, where they sat top of La Liga by two points when these two last faced each other - Girona's average xG in the league was 7.4 at Christmas and now has slumped to 1.49.
  • Artem Dovbyk scored twice against Real Betis in gameweek 30 and he will be the main source of reliance for Michel on Saturday.
  • Atleti can close the gap on Girona in third to four points if they can pull off a likely home victory this weekend.
