Atletico Madrid will look to make it four consecutive wins in all competitions when they return to LaLiga action against Alaves this afternoon.
Diego Simeone’s team is presently second in the La Liga table, five points behind league leaders Barcelona, while Alaves are sixth with 11 points from seven games.
Alaves have three wins, two draws, and two losses from seven league matches this season, giving them 11 points and putting them in sixth place in the division, just four points behind fourth-placed Real Madrid after the same number of matches.
The Basque side earned 10 points in their first four league games of the season before losing to Racing de Santander and Valencia.
Atletico Madrid entered the September/October international break after three consecutive LaLiga victories over Real Sociedad, Osasuna, and Real Madrid.
Simeone’s team is presently second in the table, five points behind leaders Barcelona, and this encounter comes ahead of a key Champions League clash with Manchester United.
Atletico Madrid will undoubtedly be looking to start a championship assault this season, as well as go far into the Champions League, but it remains to be seen whether the capital club can demonstrate the consistency required to be real contenders in both tournaments.
Players to Watch
Toni Martinez (Alaves)
Toni Martinez will have a big job to do on his hands. The 29-year-old failed to score a goal in the previous league game, which cost them three points. This time around, he will have to deliver a better performance and score a goal or two to help his side secure another win.
Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)
The Argentine striker did not come up with the best performance against Elche, and as a result, Atletico Madrid had to drop points. Julian Alvarez will be looking to step up his game and will also be keen on getting back to his top form. He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
