Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone's side suffered their first defeat of the championship, losing away to Betis with a score of 0-1. The only goal of the match was an own goal. Before this, Madrid had gone 11 consecutive La Liga matches without a defeat (6 wins and 5 draws). Notably, Atletico has the best defense in the league – only 7 goals conceded.
Defender Robin Le Normand will miss the match due to injury.
- No more than two goals were scored in 5 of the last 6 Atletico games in La Liga.
- A maximum of one goal was scored in the first 45 minutes in the last ten league matches of Madrid.
- The club has a 5-match unbeaten streak at home in La Liga (3 wins and 2 draws).
Las Palmas
The Canaries are approaching this match with two consecutive wins in the league. Diego Martinez's men beat Valencia away (3:2) and Girona at home (1:0). However, before that, the club had not won in La Liga for 23 matches (8 draws and 15 losses). Nonetheless, Las Palmas has not yet left the relegation zone but is now only one point behind the saving 17th place.
- No more than three goals were scored in 7 of the last 10 Las Palmas matches in La Liga.
- Both teams scored in 9 of the last 12 Las Palmas games in La Liga.
- The club has not won in the first half in 13 away league matches (5 draws and 8 losses).
Atletico Madrid - Las Palmas: Match Prediction
The capital club is determined to make amends for the disappointing loss in the last round. Madrid has dropped to fourth place and is now 10 points behind the leading Barcelona. I am confident that Diego Simeone's charges will secure a convincing victory in the upcoming match against the underdog. Yes, Las Palmas won their last two matches, but the opponents they defeated are currently in poor form. Also, I will add that only Valladolid and Celta have conceded more goals than the Canaries (19) in the current championship.
In the previous eight head-to-head La Liga encounters, Atletico claimed seven victories. Moreover, in six of those matches, Madrid won without conceding a goal. Additionally, in all four of the previous face-offs in Madrid, the hosts won without letting in a goal. Considering how well Diego Simeone's men play in defense, I assume they will again manage to win with a clean sheet.
My prediction is a "Clean Sheet Victory for Atletico Madrid" with odds of
Villarreal
Rayo Vallecano
