Atletico Madrid vs Deportivo: Match Preview
Atletico Madrid have made a fairly strong start to the season, although they have already suffered a defeat. In the fourth round, Los Colchoneros lost 3-0 to Athletic Bilbao. However, since then, Diego Simeone's side have won all their La Liga matches, including their clash with Real Madrid. They have collected 22 points from nine rounds and sit second in the league table. They are five points behind leaders Barcelona and one point ahead of Real Madrid. In the UEFA Champions League, the Madrid side have recorded one win, one draw and one defeat.
Deportivo have returned to Spain's top flight. Last season, the team finished second in the league, collecting 77 points from 42 matches. This was enough to secure promotion to La Liga. They are clearly aiming to stay in the top division, and their start to the season was fairly promising. The team went unbeaten in their first five rounds, winning two matches. However, their form has since declined. They have recorded a few more draws and suffered two defeats. Despite this, they currently sit ninth with 11 points after nine rounds. They are four points clear of the relegation zone, so they cannot afford to relax, with a challenging battle ahead.
