Almeria vs Atletico Madrid Comments and predictions: The away team vents their anger
Atletico Madrid have just received their 5th defeat since the beginning of the tournament when they were knocked out by Barca at the Metropolitano. Not only empty-handed, Atletico Madrid also suffered a loss of force when Stefan Savic was sent off in the 90+2 minute, thereby unable to play in this round.
The loss to Barca made Atletico Madrid lose 4th place to Betis. If they cannot regain this position, teachers and students Diego Simeone will be absent from the C1 Cup next season.
In this round of 17, Atletico Madrid will march to Power Horse Stadium to compete with rookie Almeria, the team that took 7 seasons to find their way back to La Liga.
Last week, while Atletico Madrid lost to Barca, Almeria was also empty-handed before the away team Sociedad. A few days earlier, they were held by Cadiz with a score of 1-1. If counting from the beginning of the Almeria tournament, they have tasted the bitter cup 9 times, which makes them only 2 points higher than the group holding the red light.
In the context that Atletico Madrid is very thirsty to win, it is difficult for Almeria to avoid defeat despite playing at home.
