Atlético - Deportivo: team news and expert analysis
The capital club sacrificed its La Liga campaign last season, surrendering third place to Villarreal after focusing in the spring on the cup and Champions League, where they eliminated Barcelona. However, they ultimately failed to lift any trophies. This time, they began their European campaign with a lackluster defeat away to Liverpool. Then, in October, they beat Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League. They settled for a draw against Stuttgart. There were slip-ups in La Liga as well, although they did beat Real Madrid in the derby. They also defeated Espanyol, 1-0.
The club from La Coruña only returned to the Segunda in 2024 and, at the second attempt, earned promotion even higher. They have made a strong start in La Liga, scoring plenty of goals — Aubameyang, in particular, has been “on fire.” After the break, they lost 2-3 to Real Sociedad. Against Levante, they managed at least a draw.
Madrid’s side score regularly, averaging 2.11 goals, but they also concede 0.89 per match. The division newcomers average 1.44 goals scored and 1.33 conceded.

In the last six head-to-head meetings, the club from La Coruña managed to hold its capital-based opponents to a draw only once, in 2017, losing all the other encounters.
All the cards are in the hosts’ hands. We are backing them to win with a “-1.5 goal handicap” (odds – 1.75).
