Atlético Madrid form and stats
Atlético Madrid, who have the fewest conceded goals (17) in La Liga, have performed here at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano this season with 9 wins from 13 La Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1.
The spoils were shared in Atlético's previous game, also at home. Visiting Real Madrid (placed 3rd) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Villarreal.
Atlético's goalie Jan Oblak played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Real Madrid with a stunning seven saves.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atlético have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Atlético as they are travelling to their away game against Getafe in the La Liga. That match is three days after this one.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 13 games), Atlético Madrid's attacking play is working. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Atlético have conceded only 8 goals. It's worth mentioning that 5 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 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-6 (win-draw-lose).
Club are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the La Liga against Granada (placed 10th). Preceding that game was the away Copa Del Rey victory against Levante (after extra-time) with the score of 2-1.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. García Toral when Alex Berenguer scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute. The end of the last match, against Granada, was very satisfying as Alex Berenguer scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
We have checked recent matches where Club have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were zero victories, two draws and three defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Club manager M. García Toral as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Celta de Vigo.
Club have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. 17 goals have been conceded by Club in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Atlético, two draws and one win for Athletic Club. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
