The previous
Furthermore, the rojiblancos need victory to confidently go into this Sunday’s derby against Madrid at the Metropolitano. The statistics say that Celta is a team that is good at Atlético, since it has not lost against them since 2018. However, Simeone does not trust this and asks his players total commitment to try to continue adding.
For this match, Simeone has the out due to injury to Azpilicueta and Pablo Barrios and he could be considering a change of system to counteract the offensive power of his rival and return to a defense of four, with Nahuel Molina and Reinildo as full-backs along with Le Normand and Giménez.
In the middle, the ‘Cholo’ is still keeping an eye on Rodrigo de Paul, who is out as a precaution in Vallecas and who seems to be reserved for the derby. Conor Gallagher, that is giving a good level, would repeat ownership and captain Koke Resurrección, who has a lot of load and did not complete the last session, and Marcos Llorente could fight for a position if Molina is the chosen one on the side. Above, Alexander Sorloth is emerging as the starter. Julián Álvarez is aiming for the bench, so Correa or Riquelme could be the starters, along with Griezmann.
Celta, strong in their stadium
Opposite will be a Celta whose start to the campaign has been more positive than in previous seasons, thanks above all to its level in Balaídos, which is compensating for its defensive performance and as a visitor, which are preventing it from being much better placed and with higher scores. in the classification.
The team that Claudio Giráldez trains adds nine points, all of them added in their stadiumwhere they have not lost since last February 17 against Barcelona (1-2), but their other three away games have ended in defeat, the last 3-1 at San Mamés, and also with ten goals conceded, which It makes it one of the worst defenses in LaLiga.
Upstairs, on the other hand, they are one of the top scorers since they have scored 14 goals, two less than Real Madrid, who have one more game, so it will be a good test to check Atlético de Madrid’s defensive solidity.
Giráldez will have the loss of Óscar Mingueza and for whose position Hugo Álvarez or Sergio Carreira are opting. The coach could make rotations compared to Saturday and put in a renewed eleven with the entries of Marcos Alonso, Fran Beltrán, Ilaix Moriba and Borja Iglesias as ‘9’.
