Strength at Home, Weakness Away: Atlético's Double Face
Atlético de Madrid is showing two very different sides this season. At the Metropolitano, the team is strong and achieves important victories, supported by its fans. However, away from their stadium, the team’s performance drops considerably.
This irregularity on the road has prevented Atlético from competing for the title, despite securing a comfortable qualification for the Champions League. The numbers as a visitor reveal this difficulty: of 18 matches played away, the team has achieved 7 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, adding a total of 27 points.
This figure contrasts with the 43 points obtained at home, where they have only suffered one defeat against Barcelona. Other teams such as Barcelona, Villarreal, Real Madrid and Athletic have achieved better results as visitors than Atlético.
The team has stumbled against direct rivals and also against teams from the bottom of the table, giving away important points. The team shows a great capacity for response when playing at the Metropolitano, with the unconditional support of its fans, but away from home it faces difficulties that it does not always manage to overcome. This dichotomy has marked Atlético’s season, preventing it from consolidating itself as a title contender, despite its good results at its stadium.
