Atlético Visits El Sadar Aiming for Victory
Atlético de Madrid faces Osasuna at El Sadar, in a crucial match where they will seek to secure their position. Simeone could repeat the lineup seen against Real Sociedad, with Julián Álvarez joining the attack alongside Sorloth, after his recent good performance.
A solid midfield is expected with Koke as the axis, supported by De Paul and Barrios, who will contribute dynamism from the right flank, with the support of Giuliano and Llorente. In defense, Oblak, who seeks his sixth Zamora, will be protected by Giménez, Le Normand, and Galán.
The starting eleven could be: Oblak; Llorente, Giménez, Le Normand, Galán; Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, De Paul, Julián Alvarez; Sorloth.
Osasuna, for their part, are playing for their European options, and with the absence of Rubén García, coach Vicente Moreno could opt for a three-center-back defense with Herrera; Areso, Boyomo, Catena, Herrando; Abel Bretones, Aimar, Torró, Pablo Ibáñez, Bryan; and Budimir. The return of Moncayola to the squad is good news for the Navarrese team. A match where Atlético will seek to impose their game and take the three points home.
