Team News

Girona
Atletico
  • Viktor Tsygankov returns and should replace Portu in attacking midfield.
  • The injury to David Lopez could see Michel employ a 4-3-3 with Eric Garcia and Daley Blind at the heart of defence.
  • Pablo Torre could get a second consecutive start to fill the gaps in midfield.
  • Axel Witsel should start in defence after talks of a contract extension over the Christmas break.
  • Rodrigo Riquelme could get the nod on the right side to try and aid numerical advantages in midfield for Diego Simeone.
  • Caglar Soyuncu is suspended.

Prediction

  • First vs second - the must watch game of this week takes place tomorrow evening. A win on the road for Atleti will shorten the gap between the two to just four points.
  • Girona, though, are scoring goals for fun this year, and Atleti have failed to score in their last two away games.
  • However, the visitors have not lost to Girona in the two's last eight meetings.
  • Expect a high scoring game with no shortage of drama...
