Atletico Madrid has not managed to win in its last two matches, so today match against Alaves should be an opportunity that cannot be wasted. Atletico's chances are quite low because bookmakers still consider them to be the superior team. However, I don't think Alaves will be that easy to beat. They still have a chance to put up a fierce fight on the field.
Atletico Madrid have scooped just one point in two games which is poor for a club at its level. Losing to Espanyol was a big blow and not taking the maximum point in the game with Elche was another blow. Today's game is a must win for the Diego Simeone side. Deportivo Alavés lost against Real Betis in their last game after beating Levante in the opening game of the season. It's less than 10 minutes and Atletico is already ahead, maybe this game will produce many goals.
