This Sunday, the Montilivi stadium will host the first match of Saturday’s matchday in La Liga, which will face the Girona as host and Atlético de Madrid as a visiting team. Precisely that condition will make … The match, despite the difference between the two teams in the standings, could be more even, since Simeone’s men have shown that their weak point this season is in their performance away from the Riyahd Metropolitano.
The red and whites appear at the event installed in fourth place in the league championship, behind Barcelona, Real Madrid and a Villarreal that has two games less. Therefore, those from the capital cannot be neglected, because if they stumble they also have an in-form Espanyol behind them that could complicate their position.
It will not be an easy afternoon for Atleti, who this year have been very irregular, if not weak, when they have played away from their stadium. And the locals will try to cling to that. The team led by Míchel is in 18th place in the standings, a place that would send them to relegation if the season ended like this. The Catalans have only three games won out of 16 played, a far cry from the competitive version they achieved two seasons ago and which took them to the Champions League.
It will then be an emergency duelwith some wanting to stay close to the head of the table and others trying to escape the danger zone. Whoever succeeds will be able to spend a somewhat more peaceful Christmas.
