Atletico Madrid recorded their third draw this season last Sunday against Rayo Vallecano. Now they have wins and draws three each this season and are sitting at fourth in the LaLiga standings. Their French forward Antoine Griezmann has been consistent despite the team’s inconsistency as he netted two and assisted for one goals in his last three appearances for the team.
On Thursday, Atletico will trip to Estadio de Balaidos to meet the hosts Celta Vigo in the seventh round of Laliga match-ups. The hosts had a strong two-match winning start to this season but lost three of their next four league outings. Iago Aspas has managed to score three and assist two from six league outings this season, while Borja Iglesias scored 3 goals in his last four league appearances which is noteworthy.
The head-to-head recordings are highly favorable for the Atletico Madrid side as they follows an 11-match unbeaten streak against Celta Vigo. Also, Celta Vigo lost the last four clashes against Atletico in a row at this venue. Do also note that Atletico netted 8 goals in their last four meetings at this venue.
Celta Vigo won three matches this season and the point to be noted here is that all the three wins were recorded at their home turf. They are now on a 12-match unbeaten streak at home and won the last six games in a row. Also, they have scored and leaked goals in all the three home outings this campaign.
However, Atletico Madrid looks stronger as they follows a nine-match unbeaten streak on the road. Also, they allowed 3 goals in their three away games this season. The in-form Celta Vigo offense might give a tough test to the Atletico defense on Thursday.
