Atlético: Aiming for Victory in Vitoria
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for an important visit to Vitoria, where they will face Alavés in a crucial match. The team travels with high morale, looking to add three vital points.
Simeone could repeat the lineup seen against Rayo Vallecano, although he keeps the uncertainty about who will accompany Julián Álvarez in the attack: Griezmann or Sorloth? Both players arrive in great shape and the Cholo’s decision will be key to unbalancing the rival defense.
In the rear, the continuity of the solid line of four formed by Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet and Javi Galán is expected, demonstrating the coach’s confidence in the defense.
In midfield, Giuliano Simeone, De Paul, Pablo Barrios and Gallagher would be chosen again to control the center of the field and give fluidity to the team’s offensive game.
Between the posts, Jan Oblak will seek to keep a clean sheet, an objective that not only benefits the team, but also allows him to continue aspiring to the Zamora Trophy. The only confirmed absence is that of Riquelme, who is dealing with some physical discomfort. Atlético trusts in its potential and in Simeone’s strategy to overcome Alavés and continue climbing positions in the table.
