Atletico Madrid vs Malaga Preview

Atletico welcome Malaga to town as they look to look to build some consistency into their season after their goalless draw against AS Roma in the Champions League.

They have earned just 5 points from their opening 3 league games this season although they have all been away games and they are expected to open up their new home with a win in this match.

They won their two encounters with Malaga last season winning 3-1 at home before securing a 2-0 victory away.

They will be looking to inflict more misery on their visitors in this game.

Malaga have started the season on a very poor run of form and with two consecutive losses from their last two games, they now find themselves in the relegation zone.

They have a very poor defensive record and that could work against them when they visit the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano as Atleti will look to run riot against them.

With 2 or more goals scored in Atleti’s last three games, this game should be full of goals.
