Atletico saw a 15-game winning run in all competitions come to an end last weekend, when they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Leganes, but Simeone's team bounced back impressively in the Champions League on Tuesday, beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-1.
The Red and Whites are fifth in the Champions League table and on course to automatically qualify for the knockout round of the competition, while they are firmly in the La Liga title picture, sitting second, two points behind Real Madrid.
The reigning champions are not in action until Saturday evening against Real Valladolid, so a win here would move Atletico back to the top of the division, and they have been excellent on home soil this term, picking up 26 points from their 10 La Liga matches at Wanda Metropolitano.

红白军团目前在欧冠积分榜上排名第五,并有望自动晋级淘汰赛,而他们在西甲联赛的争夺中也稳居第二,落后皇马两分。
卫冕冠军马竞要到周六晚上对阵皇家巴利亚多利德才开始比赛,所以如果在这里获胜,马竞将重新回到联赛榜首,他们本赛季在主场的表现非常出色,在万达大都会球场的10场西甲比赛中拿到了26分。
