Atlético Madrid form and stats
Atlético Madrid, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in La Liga, have been very solid at home in the La Liga so far, with 22 points collected from 8 matches (7-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Atlético has won four games in a row. The Real Madrid match was the last time out without a victory. After failing to beat Villarreal here at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, Atlético has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
In their previous game, the manager D. Simeone led his Atlético to a defeat in the Copa Del Rey match away at Cornella. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. A strong away win before that one, visiting Deportivo Alaves and winning 2-1.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Atlético as they have a new game in only three days, a La Liga match thankfully also at home. Sevilla are visiting.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (19 in 8 games), Atlético's attacking play is working. Defensively Atlético have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 8 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Athletic Club form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Athletic Club so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-5 (win-draw-lose).
Athletic Club failed to get anything from their last game, a La Liga home match vs Barcelona (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 2-3. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Elche.
It's a bit worrying for Club that their goalkeeper Unai Simón made six saves in the Barcelona game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
The schedule is very tough for Club now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super Cup game at Real Madrid is waiting in only four days.
The attacking power of Athletic Club when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Club have conceded 14 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Atlético Madrid seven wins, two draws and Athletic Club one victory. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
