Bet on Atletico to win
Given the financial might of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Atleti are not expected to win the La Liga this season. They already trail early season pace-setters Barcelona by seven points. Diego Simeone’s side will however be looking for nothing less than a solid Champions League qualification spot. They can claim a valuable three points against Leganes who are 17th in the league at this point and who are expected to contest the relegation battle this season.
Simeone’s side have home advantage for this clash and will be expected to dominate it from start to finish. They will be frustrated if they do not win this game.
Bet on Julian Alvarez to score
World Cup winner Alvarez left Manchester City to join Atleti this season as he is looking to establish himself as one of the best players in the world. Under fellow Argentine, Simeone, he will hope that his best football can be brought out.
Bet on Atletico to win 2-0
Atletico will play it safe in this game. In typical Simeone style, they will go for and secure the win. At the same time, they won’t play the most attractive football in doing so. They will be cautious and relax once the points are secure.
Atleti are capable of beating a team like Leganes by way more than a 2-0 scoreline. However, they will want to preserve the energy of their best players such as Alvarez.
