Atl. Madrid vs Leganes Prediction & Betting Tips (20 October)

Following an XXL transfer window, Atlético Madrid was counting on having its card to play in the title race and not playing the role of referee between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. However, for the moment, Griezmann and his teammates remain 3rd at the start of this day and they are already 4 lengths behind the Merengue and 7 behind the Blaugrana. Before the break, the Colchoneros were traveling in the Basque Country, on the lawn of Antoine Griezmann's former club, Real Sociedad and despite a wonderful assist from the now retired Blue, the Rojiblancos did not managed to bring back the win 1-1, their second score of parity after the draw conceded during the Madrid derby against Real at home 1-1. If we take into account the slap received in Champions on the lawn of Benfica 4-0, Atlético remains in 3 matches without a victory in all competitions.

Having just been promoted to La Liga, Leganes does not have overflowing ambitions and above all wishes to remain in end of the season. But it is clear that this mission will be complicated to assume over the entire season for the Pepineros who will travel to the capital while being stuck in a series of 7 games without a victory in the elite for a record of 3 defeats against Mallorca 0-1, at Bétis 2-0 and for the reception of Bilbao 0-2. That said, Leganes remains on 3 draws obtained on the lawn of Getafe 1-1, on the side of Rayo 1-1 and for the visit of Valencia before the truce 0-0. 

Suspended against Real Sociedad, Marcos Llorente will be eligible again by coach Diego Simeone but the right back/midfielder is ultimately injured and he could be missing. Same case concerning Cesar Azpilicueta who seems to suffer from repeated matches (physical overload) while Robin Le Normand could be back after his head clash with Aurélien Tchouaméni (head trauma all the same). Antoine Griezmann (2 pawns, 4 assists in La Liga) will be there, he who rested during the break following his withdrawal from the selection. The other Frenchies, Lenglet (on loan for the season from Barça) and Lemar (recent return from a long injury) are also available to play this match, like the Argentinian internationals Correa, Alvarez and De Paul.

 Arriving free this summer following his departure from Las Palmas, Munir El Haddadi is on the sidelines (injured) and he will probably be forced to forfeit this trip like Naim Garcia (absent since the start of the season). Sebastian Haller (on loan from Borussia Dortmund) will be operational, he who scored in the Champions League last year at the Metropolitano. Miguel de la Fuente (13 goals in D2) has still not unlocked his counter in the elite.
