Atleti face demanding challenge at Mendizorroza in midweek LaLiga clash
Our team travels to the Basque Country on Tuesday to face Alavés at 7 pm CET.
They say there’s no rest for the wicked and it certainly seems the case in this part of the season, as a new round of midweek LaLiga games is here. In our case, we will be traveling to Mendizorroza to face Alavés at 7 pm CET on Tuesday.
The matchday 11 clash will be a demanding one for Simeone’s men, as the Basque side have earned 10 out of a possible 15 points at their stadium and have kept four clean sheets in five home games.
Nevertheless, the stats look good for Atleti. In our last five matches against Alavés, we’ve scored nine goals and conceded none. In fact, the last time both sides met, we earned a 4-0 away win thanks to strikes from Saúl, Diego Costa, Morata and Thomas. Moreover, with only five goals conceded, Oblak currently holds the best defensive record in LaLiga, in which he has kept seven clean sheets in 10 games.
