This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Superliga home defeat versus Talleres Córdoba with 2-3 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Boca Juniors wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Atlético have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were four victories, two draws and two defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Atlético have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. The Atlético manager O. De Felippe has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
