Atletico Madrid – Alaves: Preview and Highest Odds

Atletico will be unable to call upon Joao Felix this weekend, with the Portugal international suspended due to the yellow card that he picked up in the goalless draw with Getafe last weekend. Felipe is back from a suspension of his own, though, and the home side do not have any confirmed absentees through injury for this match, meaning that Simeone has plenty of options. Angel Correa should join Luis Suarez as part of a front two, while Mario Hermoso and Thomas Lemar are both in line for starts, having featured as substitutes against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. As for Alaves, Rodrigo Ely remains unavailable for selection through injury, but Ximo Navarro is back from a suspension and should return to the starting side at right-back. Both Tomas Pina and Manu Garcia are suspended, meaning that Pere Pons and Rodrigo Battaglia should both earn roles in the middle of the away side’s midfield. On-loan Manchester United attacker Facundo Pellistri is in line to feature on the right once again, while Edgar Mendez could again operate alongside Joselu as part of a front two.
