Prediction: 1-1
Atletico Madrid
Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes will host a postponed La Liga fixture between Granada and Atletico Madrid. Los Granadinos made a slow start to the season, but they have been producing fine displays in the Spanish top flight of late. The Andalusians produce much better showings at home than on the travels, but they will have a big fish to fry against Diego Simeone’s troops. Midfielder Ruben Rochina should be the only absentee in the home team.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Los Rojiblancos are eager to put an end to the negative trend, but beating Granada on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at “Los Carmenes”, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Both Sime Vrsaljko and Stefan Savic are sidelined with injuries, while Antoine Griezmann is unlikely to recover in time to face Granada.
Highlighted Player (Maxime Gonalons):
The 27-year-old France international defensive midfielder Maxime Gonalons has been with Lyon since the tender age of 10, climbing through the club’s rank all the way to the first-team regular and club captain. Gonalons made his competitive debut for Lyon in 2009 against Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League playoof round when he came on for Jeremy Toulalan.
During the seven seasons with Lyon’s first-team, Maxime Gonalons established himself as the mainstay completing the total of 212 Ligue 1 appearances. Reliable midfielder has been a major impact in Lyon’s Champions League challenges as well, taking part in all of his club’s five appearances in Europe’s elite competition last year.
Playing in the holding role at Lyon, Maxime Gonalons’ influence is pivotal as the French international adds much needed steel to the midfield allowing his more creative teammates the freedom and carelessness upfront. His locker room impact is equally crucial as the 27-year-old midfielder is an imposing figure both on and off the pitch.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy.
Los Rojiblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football.
Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
