Atletico Madrid have thrashed Valencia in previous league match, 3-0. The visiting side is now fourth in the standings of LaLiga with 49 points gained. Simone’s men have small chances for a top-3 finish as they aren’t strong as they were in previous years and fell seven points behind Sevilla, who are third at the moment. At the same time, Atletico are only one points ahead of Real Sociedad, so the battle for fourth place isn’t far from over. Atletico gained 20 points in 13 matches on the road with 19-11 aggregate goal difference. The team is now on nine-match undefeated run that last since the middle of December.
Atletico never lost a match to Granada in their history. The reverse fixture ended with 7-1 win of Simeone’s men. We should expect the visiting side to take another victory over Granada and end their run of successful results in matches at own stadium.
Prediction for the match: Atletico to win.
