THE LOWDOWN
LAS PALMAS
Last year, Las Palmas gained promotion to the Spanish top-flight as Segunda Division runners’ up behind Granada. The Canary Islanders, under the management of former Barcelona youth coach Garcia Pimienta, are attempting to live up to the stereotypical tag of being the ‘Brazilians of Spanish football’.
The home team come into this on the back of an impressive 3-0 demolition of Manacor in the first round of the Copa del Rey, during the week. It had been a worryingly slow start to the 2023/24 campaign but they have now managed five victories in their last seven matches across all competitions.
ATLETICO MADRID
After the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Atletico Madrid looked set to be heading into the final few months of the Diego Simeone reign. Los Rojiblancos, though, turned their form around quickly and even implemented a more enterprising style of football – which has continued into this season as they seek to continue to evolve.
The visitors, in their opening ten matches of the 2023/24 La Liga campaign, have managed eight victories and a draw, sitting three points off Real Madrid and Girona at the top-of-the-table. They come into this on the back of a 2-1 defeat of Alaves that means they have now enjoyed six successive Liga victories.
THE TEAM NEWS
LAS PALMAS
Las Palmas have a couple of key injury concerns in attack with both Jonathan Viera and Sandro Ramirez unavailable for this visit of Atletico Madrid.
PREDICTED XI (4-5-1): Valles; Suarez, Coco, Marmol, S.Cardona; Park, Munoz, Perrone, Rodriguez, Munir; M.Cardona
UNAVAILABLE: Viera (Injured), Sandro (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Gonzalez (Injured)
ATLETICO MADRID
Atletico Madrid are missing several key players with Samuel Lino and Thomas Lemar definite absentees, whilst Memphis Depay and Reinildo are doubts.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Oblak; Savic, Witsel, Hermoso; Molina, De Paul, Koke, Saul, Riquelme; Griezmann, Morata
UNAVAILABLE: Lino (Injured), Lemar (Injured), Vitolo (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Depay (Injured), Reinildo (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
It had been a sticky start to the season for Las Palmas with their generally proactive and progressive style of football not quite being kept up in terms of efficiency and effectiveness in attack. The hosts’ opening 11 matches of the season have consisted of just 18 goals with eight scored. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have kept their defensive nous and resilience but been a lot more free flowing and fluent in attack; as shown by the fact no team has scored more than them, despite them playing a game fewer than everyone else. Atletico Madrid are firm favourites for this one.
