Who’s playing: Sitting at the top of the La Liga table, Atletico Madrid welcome bottom-placed Granada for a crucial match for both sides. A win for Granada will start their journey out of the relegation zone while a defeat or draw will make them wait a little bit longer, which is not safe. Atleti on the other hand, need nothing less than a convincing win to guarantee one more week at the top of the league table.

Match facts
- Atleti have not conceded in nine out of their last 10 games against Granada in all competitions

- Atletico have won their last six games against Granada in all competitions
- Granada are winless in five of their last six matches in La Liga
Match forecast
Atletico are the most difficult side to beat at home – they have a solid reputation of defending their goalposts even in the Champions League. So there is a very slim chance that Granada will find the back of the net quite easily in this match. Simeone’s men have beaten the likes of Bayern Munich at the Vincente Calderon Stadium this season, something that gives Granada a reason to work extra hard to get the win.

And the good thing for the visitors is that they have only one injury concern – Dimitri Foulquier, while Gaston Silva could pass a late fitness test to make it to this match. On the host’s side, Alessio Cerci, Gimenez, Augusto Fernandez, Moya and Saul Niguez are all doubtful. Saul picked up an injury during the international break on duty with Spain. This paves way for Nicolas Gaitan and Yannick Carrasco to feature in attack.
