Prediction: 0-1
Atletico Madrid
Deportivo Alaves will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they face Atletico Madrid on Sunday afternoon. The Basques suffered a dip in form, with the team struggling in front of goal and they must be low on confidence ahead of the visit of Atletico. Even though Luis Garcia Plaza has a full squad to choose from, home win should not be considered.
The capital club, on the other hand, picked up vital three points from the clash against Girona, with the team retaining their spot in top four. As Diego Simeone’s men are determined to represent Spain in the Champions League for yet another campaign, we are tempted to place our bets on the away team. Simeone could shuffle his pack following the CL clash with Borussia Dortmund, but midfielder Marcos Llorente is definitely out of contention through suspension. Dutch forward Memphis Depay misses out with a muscle injury.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Alaves):
Alaves is a Spanish football club located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava. The club were founded in 1921 and they play their home games at Estadio Mendizorrotza. The capacity of the stadium is 19,840 and it has to be noted that it is the third oldest stadium in Spanish football. After spending several years in the Spanish Segunda Division, los Babazorros returned to the top flight in 2016.
The color of Alaves’ home kit is blue and white and the club’s local rivals are fellow Basque sides Real Sociedad, Athletic Club, Osasuna and Eibar. Alaves made it to the UEFA CUP final in 2001, but they were beaten by Liverpool 5-4 in a thrilling football clash. Anyhow, that is still regarded as the club’s biggest success. Los Babazorros booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on four occasions and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy.
