Simeone’s men are the current league leaders, having picked up 51 points in 20 games. In our last game, we drew 1-1 against Celta at the Wanda Metropolitano, in what was our ninth straight unbeaten match. We will now look to build on our away record, having picked up 22 points on the road so far. In our previous away fixture, we won 4-2 in Cádiz.
On the other hand, Granada are eighth and fighting to qualify for the Europa League, with 30 points in 22 matches. They are also competing in the European competition this season and face Napoli later this month. In LaLiga, they boast a fantastic home record – having picked up 22 points at their stadium. In their last game, they drew 2-2 at Levante.
In the reverse fixture, we won 6-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano in what was our first match of the season. Last season, we drew 1-1 in Granada as Renan Lodi scored his first Atleti goal.
