Atletico Madrid will be hoping for another win on the bounce as they take on a struggling Alaves side. Atletico is on the back of a 2-0 win against Athletic Bilbao, whereas, Alaves is fresh from a 4-1 defeat to Villarreal.
Diego Simeone’s men are currently at the fourth spot in La Liga but are on level terms with Real Sociedad and Barcelona. Athletico is also just a point behind their neighbours, Granada who occupy the top spot.
Meanwhile, Alaves is at the 14th spot in the lege and are two points away from the relegation zone.
Match Details
Date- Tuesday, October 29 | Kick-Off- 11:30 PM (IST) | Venue- Mendizorroza
Deportivo Alaves
Tomas Pina and Rodrigo Ely are doubtful to feature against Athletico Madrid. Keeping those two aside, Alaves should persist with Fernando Pacheco in at goal. Martin, Laguardia, Magallan and Ruben Duarte could make the back four. Aleix and Vidal could serve as the holding midfielders. While, Manu Garcia, Wakaso and Luis Rioja play in advance positions. Lucas Perez and Joselu are expected to be the two upfront.
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid continues to be without quite a few first-team players due to injury. Jose Gimenez, Jao Felix, Stefan Savic and Sime Vrsaljko are all on the sidelines. Having said that, Diego Simeone should start with a similar eleven that featured in the last game. Oblak will be between the stick, while, Arias, Felipe, Hermoso and Renan Lodi constitute the defence. Koke, Llorente, Partey and Lemar could fill in at midfield. Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata are expected to be in charge of the attack.
Predicted Lineups
Deportivo Alaves- Fernando Pacheco; Martin, Laguardia, Magallan, Ruben Duarte; Aleix Vidal, Manu Garcia, Wakaso, Luis Rioja; Lucas Perez, Joselu
Athletico Madrid- Oblak; Arias, Felipe, Hermoso, Renan Lodi; Koke, Llorente, Partey, Lemar; Diego Costa, Alvaro Morata
Key Points
In the last six meetings between the two sides, it’s Athletico Madrid with the upper hand as they’ve won four in contrast to Alaves’ zero wins.
Two games have ended on level terms during that period.
Athletico Madrid has managed to five consecutive clean sheets against Deportivo Alaves in all competitions.
Top Picks
Joselu at centre-forward can cause some damage given the home support against a big club such as Athletico Madrid. Joselu has scored thrice in nine league appearances this season.
Alvaro Morata scored against Bilbao and is expected to get his name on the scoresheet in the absence of Jao Felix for Athletico Madrid.
