Prediction
Deportivo had a fantastic start to the season but bloated their book with a shocking loss to Malaga last weekend. That result wasn’t expected by many but puts the focus back on Deportivo. It remains to be seen if they can hold their own against Atletico.
The visitors come into this game with some much needed confidence. After a below-par start, they are back in the top three and should look to add to their sequence of three consecutive wins in all competitions. With his players striking rich form at the right time, Diego Simeone would target full points.
Deportivo will be very eager to get back to winning ways but Atletico is a tough proposition. It could be a close encounter finishing in a victory for the visitors.
