Atlético de Madrid seeks tenth victory against Slovan Bratislava
Atlético de Madrid will host Slovan Bratislava at the Metropolitano this Wednesday with the sole mission of winning. After nine consecutive victories in all competitions, the red-and-white team seeks the tenth against the Slovak team to continue climbing positions in the standings and finish this phase within the top-8 of the Champions League.
Depending on the results of the day, they could finish in that privileged position, as only one point separates them from eighth place. Slovan is the second worst team in the competition, with all their games lost and a goal difference of -14.
Simeone had all the players of the squad available in training yesterday, although he did not give any clue about the starting lineup. It is expected that most of the starters against Sevilla will start against Slovan. The coach will be able to line up players who missed the last league game due to health problems, such as Juraj Kucka, Matúš Vojtko and Kevin Wimmer. A large crowd is expected despite the early hour at the colchonero stadium.
