In this way, it’s evident that the madrilenos is going through a very positive stage of the season. In this away match, the coach Diego Simeone must work with a defensive strategy, looking only for the counterattack in order to explore the enemy's back. It’s important to emphasize that the visiting team has competence in the quick transitions: Correa is very fast and expert in the transport of the ball for the attack. On the other hand, Antoine Griezmann is Atletico Madrid's top scorer with 15 scored goals. For this match, the coach won’t count on Lucas Hernandez and Savic, both injured.
