Atletico will come into this match feeling rather content; they avoided defeat on the road in the first leg, got on the score-sheet, while they won’t have seen anything to leave them feeling worried ahead of this fixture. However, manager Diego Simeone will be keen for his side to offer more now that they’re playing in front of a home crowd. In the reverse fixture, Atleti struggled to make things happen in the final third, despite playing a strong side.
Fortunately, their recent efforts at home have been pleasing. Since drawing 1-1 with Barcelona, Simeone’s men have won three on the bounce on their own patch, scoring five goals and conceding none in the process.
Despite doing well in the first leg, Girona come into this fixture having struggled to get going on the road of late, which certainly doesn’t bode well ahead of a game against an Atletico side that can make life very difficult for teams at Wanda Metropolitano. The visitors have won their share of away games this season, but they’ve won none of their last three, two of which they’ve lost, while their recent performances on the road haven’t been too encouraging.
