Atletico Madrid hosts Huesca in round 31 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, April 22nd at Wanda Metropolitano (Madrid)
Atletico Madrid recently resembled a balloon that was deflated. The Mattress Makers were steadily losing the advantage that they had over their pursuers. It seemed that Luis Suarez and company would be able to win the title in LaLiga, as they were ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona by ten points. But problems began in February, and Diego Simeone's charges couldn’t gain two victories in a row in the last 12 rounds. When Atlético started April with one point scored in the matches against Sevilla (0-1 defeat) and Betis (1-1), the neighbors got close. This may have motivated the Mattress Makers, who won 5-0 on Saturday. Or was it about Eibar that is incredibly weak?

Huesca suffered a very offensive defeat in the match, where, as they say, six points were at the stake. On Sunday, the team was visiting a direct competitor, Alaves, and it was a match in which both sides were afraid to make a mistake. As a result, the Catalans stumbled, allowing Battaglia to convert one of the few scoring chances. It happened in the 85th minute, and Pacheta's charges simply did not have time to rectify the situation. But before that, Rafa Mir and company gained seven out of nine possible points, and they won both April matches with a noticeable advantage (2-0 versus Levante away and 3-1 versus Elche at home). Such results allowed them to leave the relegation zone. Everything is in Huesca players' hands, and they can stay in La Liga. The main thing is to show that the defeat to Alaves didn’t lead the team astray.
In total, the clubs managed to play three head-to-head matches. In Huesca's debut season in LaLiga, it lost 0-3 both times. But in the first round of the current Temporada, the Catalans managed to gain a goalless draw. Atlético must understand perfectly well that the pursuers are waiting for their mistakes. Therefore, the Mattress Makers only need to win, and there shouldn't be any problems with Huesca at home. We will bet on the hosts to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win with -1.0 handicap
