Match Preview: Atletico Madrid Vs Leganes

Atletico Madrid hosts Leganes at the Wanda Metropolitano in a match from the 10th round of La Liga. Stay with us and our best soccer tips today. It’s going to be interesting!

Atletico Madrid are currently third in La Liga with 17 points won and this puts them 7 points behind the leader Barcelona. It means that Cholo Simeone’s team still has some work to do. Atleti are unbeaten since the beginning of the season, but they have more draws than wins – and this is a problem.

Right now Los Colchoneros have three draws in the last four matches, including in the last two. Before the break Atletico faced Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena, but only got a point after a 1-1 draw. Julian Alvarez opened the score in the first minute, but Luka Sučić equalised for La Real with an amazing goal in the 84th minute.

Diego Simeone could bring Alexander Sorloth back in the line-up against Leganes. The Norwegian striker started from the bench against Real Sociedad. Meanwhile Rodrigo De Paul could also be a part of the starting eleven.

Atletico are not playing badly this season, but they need to be more clinical in securing wins. Five draws from nine matches played it’s not something that would make them champions. And they know it.

Julian Alvarez is one of Atletico’s players who need to step up their game. The club paid a lot of money for him in the summer, but so far Alvarez has scored just three league goals. Of course, he will need some time to settle in, but surely he can do better. Much better.

On the contrary, Conor Gallagher is playing very well since joining Atletico Madrid. The English international quickly became one of Simeone’s most important players. He also scores goals occasionally. Gallagher is one of Atletico’s best signings lately.

Leganes are 17th in the league standings with 8 points won so far. Just as expected, it’s going to be a tough season for them. They have won just one of their nine matches so far. And they made three consecutive draws in the last three rounds. At least they are winning points.

Before the break Leganes hosted Valencia, but only got a point with a 0-0 draw. In the second half the manager Borja Jimenez put Miguel de la Fuente, Darko Brasanac and Oscar Rodriguez on the pitch, but Valencia’s defense didn’t crack.
