📋 Team News: Atlético Madrid

The Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone will be grateful not to have any fitness worries at all coming into this match with a completely injury-free squad to choose from.

We are thinking that Atleti will possibly make use of the 3-5-2 formation, beginning the first half with Jan Oblak, Stefan Savic, Mario Hermoso, Reinildo, Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo De Paul, Koke, Saul Niguez, Samuel Dias Lino, Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa.

📰 Team News: Girona FC

It’s our belief that Blanquivermells appear most likely to play in a 4-5-1 system, starting the game with Paulo Gazzaniga, Yan Couto, Eric Garcia, Daley Blind, Miguel Gutierrez, Cristian Portu, Yangel Herrera, Aleix Garcia, David Lopez, Savio and Artem Dovbyk.

⚡ Prediction

In our view, Girona FC will do well to breach the defence of this Atlético Madrid side who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 advantage for Atlético Madrid when the referee blows for full-time.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
