My Prediction
Atlético Madrid by 2With this exciting LaLiga matchup, we have Atlético Madrid squaring off against Deportivo Alavés. Atlético Madrid, with their solid defense, is led by goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who's been clutch this season with a 7.05 rating and 10 saves to boot. On the other side, Antonio Sivera's been handling things between the sticks for Deportivo Alavés with a decent 6.73 rating and 6 saves this season.
Atlético's heavyweight, Antoine Griezmann, has been having a good month hitting 1 goal and 2 shots on goal with a 7.35 rating. They also have Alexander Sørloth, who's been performing exceptionally with 3 goals, 5 shots on goal, and a 7.18 rating. Deportivo Alavés, meanwhile, has no shortage of talent. Players like Antonio Blanco and Carlos Vicente have shown great performance, although they haven't netted any goals yet.
Taking a trip down memory lane, Alavés managed to get the best of Atlético in their last encounter, however, Atlético had their way with Alavés a couple of months prior. Atlético Madrid's recent winning streak must be quite intimidating for Alavés, considering their recent loses and their not-so-picture-perfect regular season record.
Atlético Madrid has been more consistent in the regular season, with a record of 7-5-1. This trumps Deportivo Alavés' 4-1-8. In terms of recent results, Atlético seems to be in better form as they've seen more victories than their counterparts. So, unless something drastic happens, I'd bet my left shoe Atlético Madrid will bag this one.
