Atletico Madrid don’t look that solid this season as they were last season. The team is inconsistent this season and has troubles scoring goals on the road. For instance, the team has only three wins, two draws and three defeats after eight away games played in the league. It’s going to be hard to compete for the title with such results. Most of away win were taken over mediocre opponents except 4-0 win over Celta at Vigo. The team has passed on round in the cup this season, knocking out Guijuelo, 6-0, 4-1.
The opponents met right before the break in the league match. Today’s visitors were stronger at Vicente Calderon, taking close 1-0 victory. Los Colchoneros are still considered as one of the strongest teams of Spain, but their results aren’t that impressive as they were in previous season. At the same time, solid results of the hosing side allow us to count on them in the first leg.
Prediction for the match: Las Palmas to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
