Atl. Madrid vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
Atletico Madrid marches and marches! The top team from Madrid shows phenomenal performances week after week and is therefore still in the running for winning the Spanish championship. After a terrific victory against Sevilla at the weekend, Atletico are now hosting Leganes at the Estadio Metropolitano de Madrid on Wednesday with the goal of scoring another three points. Due to the current form of the Madrid, the guest is to be assessed as a clear outsider. Leganes suffered four defeats in the last five league games – only a draw was made at the dress rehearsal.
The last direct duels between these two teams always ended very close. Since the rise of Leganes there have been three games between the clubs. The first duel in the previous season ended with a 0-0, followed by a 2-0 win for the Madrid. In the first leg of 2017/2018 fell again no goals.
Atletico Madrid:
As mentioned earlier, Atletico Madrid is in an outstanding form. At the weekend, coach Diego Simeone’s team made a convincing 5-2 win in the top match against Sevilla FC. Player of the match was Antoine Griezmann, who contributed significantly to the victory of the guests with a three-pack. Griezmann is already at 18 points scorer this season. Atletico won the last seven games across all competitions. Previously, the capital club had beaten in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey against Sevilla. In the championship, the team is with 58 points from 25 games in second place, seven points behind FC Barcelona. This coming weekend, there will be a showdown of these two teams, in which Atletico could catch up with a win and thus give the Spanish championship again suspense.
Particularly outstanding is the defensive work of Atletico Madrid. In four of their last five games, they kept their goal clean. Only against Sevilla in the last round, the goalkeeper had to grab twice behind. From a personal point of view, Atletico Madrid has no problems to complain about. Only the two central defenders Stefan Savic and Lucas Hernandez are suffering from minor injuries and are unlikely to be ready for action against Leganes. Otherwise, Diego Simeone can fall back on his entire squad.
Leganes:
CD Leganes is currently in crisis. From the last five games in the championship, the team could only get one point. He scored in the final round against the 18th of the table, Las Palmas, with a weak 0: 0. Previously, Leganes lost to Real Madrid, Girona, Eibar and Sevilla. The last victory in the championship was achieved on Matchday 21 against Espanyol Barcelona, when they won 3: 2. Currently the club is in 13th place with 30 points from 25 games. Despite the weakness, a rank in the middle of the table seems to be cemented. Leganes will most likely have nothing to do with relegation and will not play a role in Europe either.
From a personal point of view coach Asier Garitano has to worry a little more than his coach colleague Diego Simeone. Center-back Dimitris Siovas and defensive midfielder Rubén Pérez received their fifth yellow card in the game against Las Palmas and are now on the bench against Atletico. Attacking midfield player Alexander Szymanowski and center-back Dos Santos Mauro are back in team training after injury, but are unlikely to qualify for the upcoming game.
