Atletico Madrid have exhibited stellar form in La Liga, notching five clean sheets in their last seven matches. In contrast, Espanyol have found themselves goal-shy, failing to score in their first two league fixtures. Alexander Sorloth, the striking sensation for Atletico, continues his impressive scoring run, having netted 24 goals in his last 36 league appearances, including a debut goal at Villarreal.
Game Analysis: Atletico’s Strength vs. Espanyol’s Struggle
When Espanyol visit the Spanish capital this Wednesday to face Atletico Madrid, the disparity in recent form suggests a tough outing for the newcomers. Diego Simeone’s squad comes off a convincing 3-0 victory over Girona at the Wanda Metropolitano, where they demonstrated tactical prowess and lethal counter-attacking. Espanyol, while defensively solid, have shown vulnerability late in games, a weakness Atletico are well-equipped to exploit.
With Atletico’s balanced approach of solid defense and effective offense, and Espanyol’s offensive challenges, Atletico are the clear favorites to secure another clean sheet victory. This match is likely to highlight why Atletico are contenders and Espanyol still have adjustments to make in La Liga.
