Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Alaves in the round 11 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 29th at Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid).
In the current season of La Liga, Atletico Madrid, often referred to as the "mattress makers", has scored 23 goals in nine matches, averaging over two goals per game. Only Girona have a better scoring record, having played ten matches and scored one more goal than Simeone's team. It's worth noting that seven out of the 23 goals were scored against Rayo Vallecano in the third round. However, in six of the other eight league matches, the Madrid team has scored at least twice in 90 minutes: 3-1 against Granada, 3-1 against Real Madrid, 2-0 against Osasuna, 2-1 against Real Sociedad, 3-2 against Cadiz, and 3-0 against Celta Vigo. It's likely that Griezmann and company will score at least two goals against Alaves, a newly-promoted team in Spanish football.

Alaves currently occupies the 14th position in the league table. Like many teams fighting for survival, they perform better when playing on their home turf. Out of nine points earned in La Liga this season, Alaves have secured all of them at home. Looking at the goals conceded in the tournament, it might seem that Alaves hasn't conceded many, with just 14 goals allowed in 10 matches. However, in four matches, they allowed their opponents to score two or more goals: a victory against Villarreal (4-3) and defeats to Rayo Vallecano (0-2), Osasuna (0-2), and Athletic Bilbao (0-2). It's not surprising that Atletico Madrid, with their strong offensive capabilities, might score at least twice against Alaves.
The players of Atletico Madrid are in excellent form as they head into the match against Alaves. In the league, they have a five-game winning streak, with at least two goals scored in each match, totaling 13 goals during this period. Griezmann looks sharp, having already scored seven goals in La Liga, while Alvaro Morata has scored five times. In two out of three UEFA Champions League group stage matches, Diego Simeone's team also scored at least two goals, defeating Feyenoord (3-2) at home and salvaging a draw in Scotland against Celtic, twice coming from behind (2-2). It's highly likely that Atletico Madrid will break through Alaves' defensive line at least twice in the upcoming La Liga match. My prediction is Over 1.5 Goals for Atletico Madrid.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to score over 1.5 goals.
