Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Atletico
  • Edgar Mendez will miss the rest of this month with a knee injury, while Pere Pons is still a doubt with a aductor issue.
  • Florian Lejeune is another doubt with an ankle injury, but he should be okay to start, and Javier Lopez remains out.
  • Luis Rioja came in last time out and is likely to keep his place with few changes expected after an improved display.
  • Thomas Lemar remains out here, and he is joined by Koke, who also sat out the last outing.
  • Joao Felix remains suspended, and there are no fresh injury issues for Atletico Madrid heading into this one.
  • Few, if any, changes are expected given Atleti's win in the week, though Diego Simeone does need to find some way to introduce a little more creativity.

Prediction

  • It has been a nightmare start to the season for Alaves, who remain without a single point this season, losing all five of their outings so far.
  • Last time out, they lost by just the one goal, conceding a second half penalty against Espanyol and paying the price, and that followed defeats to Osasuna and Valencia.
  • Javi Calleja is now under real pressure, and it gets no easier as his men prepare to face an Atletico Madrid side who recovered from back-to-back draws with a win last time out, and a late one at that.
  • Diego Simeone's men were one behind against Getafe, but a brace from Luis Suarez, including a winning goal in the final minute. Late goals are already a trait of Atleti's this season, though Simeone will want a better performance throughout the game, something he admitted himself after the win over Getafe.
  • Antoine Griezmann continues to falter, but it matters little when you have Suarez to bail you out, and this is another one Los Rojiblancos should come through, and with less trouble than last time out.

  • I played ATM to score 0-1 goal because they was very lucky winner last time even their opponent played with 10 players. A lot of big teams like mutd, juve suck this season. I watched little of Napoli they are only big team in Eur I watched so far that played offensive football.

  • @Nikola19 Bayern, Real, hello?

  • Alaves - Ath Madrid 0:2(0:0)
