Atletico Madrid will be hoping to strengthen their grip at the top of the La Liga table when they take on SD Huesca this midweek.
As the dust settles on the trainwreck that was the European Super League, footballing action continues at a breakneck speed with the 2020/21 campaign now entering into the business end. And in La Liga, leaders Atletico Madrid will be hoping to consolidate their position at the top when they face off against relegation-battling SD Huesca at the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday.
Atletico, who were one of the last members to withdraw from the doomed ESL, were able to put behind their recent on-field woes when they thrashed SD Eibar 5-0 at the weekend. That result, coupled with Real Madrid’s goalless draw against Getafe meant Diego Simeone’s men opened up a three-point lead at the top. But with Los Blancos set to play Cadiz on Wednesday, the pressure will be on Atleti to ensure there are no slip-ups.
Huesca, meanwhile, are teetering around the relegation zone as they sit 17th, level on points with 18th-placed Real Valladolid, who have a game in hand. After a three-game unbeaten run that included wins over Levante and Elche, Pacheta’s side fell to a 1-0 loss to fellow relegation battlers Alaves last time out. They will be hoping to come away with at least a point from the capital as they look to avoid the drop.
