Team News

Almeria
Atletico
  • Largie Ramazani and Leo Baptistao both return from suspension for this one, whilst strikers Luis Suarez and Ibrahima Kone are out with injuries.
  • Bruno Langa started his first game for Almeria last week against Granada and should be employed at left-back again this weekend.
  • Aleksandar Radovanovic should pair with Edgar in defence.
  • Antoine Griezmann suffered a sprained ankle in Atleti's tough 1-0 loss in the Champions League knockouts this week. Angel Correa could start up front for only the second time this season.
  • Jose Gimenez was substituted at half time against Inter as he continues to struggle with injury, Mario Hermoso could fill in.
  • Pablo Barrios should start as he was left on the bench mid-week.

Prediction

  • Almeria welcome Atletico Madrid to Andalusia in La Liga as their desperate bid for a first win of the season further evades conclusion. Not likely to find one here, either, Almeria's last victory over the Madrid giants came exactly ten years ago, with Sevilla's now veteran Suso grabbing an assist in that game.
  • To make matters worse, Almeria have been unable to be aided by their passionate fans at home, having not scored on home soil in five matches.
  • Atleti will be looking to deal serious damage following their frustrating defeat in Europe - Almeria could be on the end of yet another hiding.
