Atlético Madrid vs Hercules Match Preview
Atletico's coach Quique Sanchez Flores confirmed this will be his last game at the Vicente Calderon. Colchoneros' coach wants to say goodbye with a victory that will virtually qualify Atletico for the Europa League.
Uruguayan international Diego Forlan will be making way for Diego Costa in Atletico's starting eleven for seventh consecutive time.
Sanchez Flores seems to ignore the fact that this scheme has not been particularly effective, unable to secure a single point in the last two games against Racing and Malaga.
Hercules will return to the Liga Adelante next semester, and visits the Vicente Calderon without Nelson Haedo Valdez, Abel Aguilar or Royston Drenthe.
The reigning champion hosts Hercules this Sunday, can Atletico secure its European future in Madrid?
