Atlético Madrid form and stats

8-1-0 is the performance here at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano so far in the La Liga, giving Atlético Madrid a total of 25 from their 9 games here. Outstanding results! The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of six straight victories regardless of arena. Atlético Madrid has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. We remember; it was Villarreal.

Atlético enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at SD Eibar's place. The match ended 2-1 with Luis Suárez (2) scoring. Ahead of that match, Atlético Madrid won a home game hosting Sevilla (2-0).

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (21 in 9 games), Atlético's attacking play is working. Atlético have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
