THE PREDICTION

Diego Simeone is known for his pragmatic and defensive intensity, known as ‘Cholismo’, but the last couple of transfer windows might have to force his hand into something a little more offensive. Joao Felix, Luis Suarez, Thomas Lemar, Yannick Carrasco, Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa form part of an impressive list of attackers in the Atleti squad. They scored a very late winner at Espanyol last weekend to collect ten points from their opening four fixtures. Athletic have also been impressive this season and Marcelino is solidifying his side. This should be a low-scoring match with an Atleti double chance bet the best way to go due to their home advantage.
