ATL vs LEG Match Prediction & Previews
Atletico Madrid Team Preview
Atletico Madrid have had a turbulent patch recently but remain unbeaten in La Liga this season. Although they’ve drawn five of their nine matches, they are still third in the table. Their last domestic win came in a 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo, and they will look to bounce back from a disappointing 0-4 defeat to Benfica in the UEFA Champions League.
Despite injury concerns to players like Marcos Llorente and Robin Le Normand, Atletico still have a well-balanced side. Key players to watch include Julian Alvarez, who has scored three times this season, and Jan Oblak, whose goalkeeping heroics continue to keep the team’s defensive record the best in the league
- Atletico have only conceded one goal at home in four matches.
- Julian Alvarez is their top scorer with 3 goals in La Liga this season.
Leganes Team Preview
Leganes are facing a tough challenge as they travel to Madrid. Sitting 17th in the table with just one win from nine matches, Borja Jiménez’s side will be hoping to secure at least a point to ease their relegation fears. They come into this match on a three-game unbeaten run, drawing their last three matches against Getafe, Rayo Vallecano, and Valencia. However, their struggle to find the back of the net—scoring only five goals so far—has been a significant problem.
Juan Cruz, Leganes’ top scorer with three goals, will be their main hope in attack, while their defence, led by players like Matija Nastasic, will need to be in top form to hold off Atletico’s potent attack.
- Leganes have only conceded 9 goals in 9 matches, showing some defensive resilience.
- Juan Cruz has been their standout performer with three goals this season
Atletico Madrid vs Leganes Team News
Atletico Madrid will be without Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand, and Borja Garcés, all sidelined with injuries. However, Diego Simeone can still rely on key players like Rodrigo De Paul and Antoine Griezmann to provide a boost.
Leganes have fewer injury concerns but will likely miss Naim Garcia due to a muscle injury. Renato Tapia is expected to be fit, providing stability in midfield alongside Yvan Neyou.
