Atletico Madrid v Leganes
15:00
Atletico have been held to draws in their last two at Bilbao and Alaves, and so they remain in 4th, six points behind Barca and Sevilla and 10 off Real, who also have a game in hand. Leganes were beaten at home by Celta Vigo, meaning they’re now winless in eight, though they have drawn five of these. They find themselves in 17th but are still five points clear of the relegation zone.
Atletico have won six of their nine home games this term and 21 of 28 at the Vicente Calderon since the start of last season. They’ve won all nine of their home games against bottom-six opposition in that period, conceding only one goal in these, whilst they haven’t conceded in their last three at the Calderon against all opposition.
Leganes won three of their opening four road games, but have picked up only two points from their subsequent six away matches, failing to score in four of these. They’ve only travelled to Real Madrid of the current top-six, losing 3-0, and we expect something similar here. The Atletico win to nil looks a banker at 1.73, but we’re going to have a punt on the 3-0 correct score at 7.0
