Atletico Madrid will welcome CA Osasuna to the Metropolitano on Sunday afternoon. The team from Madrid are in great form and surely they will be hungry to become the table toppers of LaLiga as they are just behind their rivals Real Madrid. They have 41 points from 18 fixtures and will be looking to put pressure on Los Blancos.
They defeated Marbella in Copa del Rey by 0-1 and their last LaLiga win was against FC Barcelona. Simeone’s men will have to give their best to get a good result when they take on the Pamplona-based club.
Osasuna claimed a single victory in their last three games. They started with a 0-0 draw against Espanyol. Afterwards, a 1-2 defeat against Athletic Club followed, before beating Tenerife 1-2. Sitting at the 10th place in the table with 25 points they will be looking to climb up the places in the points table.
Playing as an away team at the Metropolitano will be a tough task for Osasuna, but they will have to be confident and look to force Atleti to drop points at home.
Simeone has asserted himself as an effective catalyst within his father, Diego Simeone’s Atleti squad, with excellent tenacity and desire on the pitch.
With his pace and agility, he goes past defenders very easily and creates some great chances for his teammates. His ability to combine with his teammates in the final third makes him a lethal player on the pitch. In 13 games, he has scored one goal and provided two assists.
The Spaniard is a player who is a leader on the pitch, with his passing ability he is able to build the attack very well. Torro with his experience leads the midfield line very well and he helps out his team equally in attack and defence. With his tall and lanky frame, he is able to protect the ball and create opportunities for his teammates.
Torro is like a horse who can run with full intensity in a whole match and does not lose his stamina. In 17 LaLiga fixtures, he has scored three goals and has an average passing accuracy of 91%.
