📰 Team News: Atlético Madrid

The Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has no fitness concerns whatsoever before this match owing to a fully healthy group to choose from.

We are thinking that Atleti will probably go for a 5-3-2 formation this time, utilising Ivo Grbic, Jose Gimenez, Axel Witsel, Mario Hermoso, Nahuel Molina, Saul Niguez, Rodrigo De Paul, Koke, Yannick Carrasco, Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann.

📰 Team News: Osasuna

Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate has not got a full squad to pick from. Darko Brasanac (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Nacho Vidal (Muscular problems) miss out here.

We believe Los Rojillos seem likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Sergio Herrera, Ruben Pena, Aridane Hernandez, David Garcia, Manuel Sanchez, Jon Moncayola, Lucas Torro, Aimar Oroz, Ezequiel Avila, Ante Budimir and Ruben Garcia.
