Atl Madrid – Las Palmas

Out of form Atletico will be eager to get a result at home against Las Palmas, but the visitors have proved to be a tough nut to crack so far in this La Liga season.

Atletico Madrid is on the back of a 0-3 defeat at Villarreal, a result that sent them into crisis. The hosts are well out of the title race at the moment, standing on the 6th place and trailing Real Madrid by 12 points. With just one win and 3 losses in the previous 5 Primera Division matches, Atletico will be desperate to get back to winning ways in this clash.

Las Palmas has been one of the bright spots in La Liga this season. The visitors are sitting on the 10th place, which is a pretty good standing, but most of all they have impressed by playing positive, attacking football. Only 4 teams scored more goals than Las Palmas so far, those being Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid. The visitors suffered a single defeat in the last 7 matches in all competitions, but they were held to draws in their last 3 matches.

Team news & lineups:

The hosts will be without Oblak, Filipe Luis, Fernandez, Correa and Cerci, while Gimenez and Tiago are doubtful. Las Palmas will miss Garcia and Artiles, with question marks over the fitness of Boateng, Aythami and Araujo.

Atletico Madrid: Moya – Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Hernandez – Niguez, Gabi, Koke – Carrasco, Gameiro, Griezmann

Las Palmas: Varas – Macedo, Bigas, Lemos, Castellano – Viera, Mesa, Gomez – Boateng, Livaja, Tana

Atletico might find this game to be more difficult than expected, even if Las Palmas is doing much better at home than away. I don`t think Atleti will keep a clean sheet in this one.

The visitors scored in 14 of 16 a matches played so far in all competitions and found the net against every top opponent they faced, home or away – Real Madrid, Villarreal or Sevilla.

Atletico Madrid obviously defends very well and only Villarreal is allowing less goals than them in La Liga, but they will come into this match desperate to win and might leave themselves a bit more open than usual. Their poor form and low confidence might contribute to mistakes which Las Palmas has the ability to exploit. Also, the absences of Oblak, Luis and possibly Gimenez won`t help Atletico on the defensive end.

I am looking for a narrow Atletico Madrid victory in a match that will most likely see both teams find the net. As my analysis should suggest, my tip here will be both teams to score. Prediction: Atletico Madrid – Las Palmas 2-1.
