Team News

Atletico
Celta Vigo
  • Antoine Griezmann returns from his one-match-ban and will be a fresh face to take on Celta Vigo.
  • Memphis Depay returns from his muscle injury whilst Nahuel Molina drops out with a hamstring injury - Rodrigo Riquelme should replace him.
  • Jonothan Bamba is a doubt for this one after being completely left out of the squad against Villarreal.
  • Willot Swedberg, Iago Aspas, and Jorgen Strand Larsen could all be used up front together after helping their team to scoring three goals against Villarreal.

Prediction

  • Atletico Madrid welcome an inspired Celta Vigo who look to be conquering relegation to the Civitas Metropolitano on Sunday, in aims of extending their winning streak to three games this weekend. Back in October, Atletico comfortably dispatched Celta under Rafa Benitez with a 3-0 victory. Now at home for the tie, Simeone's men will be licking their lips at the prospect of running wild.
  • Celta will not simply lie down, though, having scored eight goals in their last five matches, one more than Atleti in the same time frame. They could extend their safety buffer ahead of Cadiz to nine points clear of the relegation zone with an unlikely victory in Madrid.
  • With the return of Memphis Depay and Antoine Griezmann, Simeone's men will surely be too much to handle for the brave Celta Vigo.
