“Atlético Madrid receives Cádiz in search of another victory”
Atlético Madrid faces Cádiz tonight in a match where historically they have had good results. The red and white team has won all direct confrontations against Cádiz since 1991. However, the statistics could be broken this time, as Cádiz has proven to be a difficult opponent to beat in recent matches.
In addition, Atlético comes into the game with problems in the offensive line due to Morata’s suspension, Memphis’ injury, and Correa’s tight recovery. Griezmann will be the only attacking reference, accompanied by youth players Lino and Riquelme. On the other hand, Cádiz also presents doubts in their lineup due to the accumulation of matches. An interesting match is expected at the Metropolitano Stadium.
