Los Colchoneros did a good job during the international break and two draws at the start of the season against newly-promoted Alaves, 1-1, and Leganes, 0-0, was followed by 4-0 away win over Celta Vigo. On top of that, Diego Simeone’s men started the Champions League campaign with 1-0 away win at Eindhoven over the PSV. The team should thank their keeper Oblak, who denied Guardado attempt from the penalty spot. Expectations from the Champions League finalists were high before the start of the season and it seems Atletico are ready to live up to the, as gained their best conditions. On top of that, the team is still undefeated in season 2016/17.

Sporting Gijon, who were involved in the relegation battle previous season, show excellent results at the start of new campaign. The visiting side has seven points after three matches played after 2-1 wins over Athletic Bilbao and Leganes and 0-0 draw with Alaves. Counting previous season, Gijon side is undefeated in their last six matches in a row.
Of course, Atletico Madrid are more successful in head-to-heads with Sporting. However, the opponents exchanged home wins last season, 1-0 at Madrid and 2-1 at Gijon. In-form Atletico are almost unstoppable and even nice start of the season give almost no chances to Sporting in Madrid.
Prediction for the match: Atletico to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
