Atletico aren’t that strong as they used to in previous couple of seasons. At the same time, Los Colchoneros are still much better that the majority of Primera teams. Diego Simeone’s men have gained 42 points in 22 matches and currently occupy fourth position in the standings. Atletico played 11 matches on the road this season, gaining 16 points with 14-9 aggregate goal difference. The team has their biggest problems in away matches and two recent voyages to Athletic and Alaves ended with draws, 2-2 and 0-0 respectively.
Atletico are quite successful in matches against Sporting and they are clearly much stronger side at the moment. We should expect Madrid side to prevail in the match and take away victory over league lowly and put themselves in good mood before the playoffs of Champions League.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
