Comments, predictions Atletico Madrid vs Leganes: Minimum win

Atletico Madrid will be looking to end a three-game winless run in all competitions when they return to La Liga to host Leganes on Sunday afternoon.

Diego Simeone's side have won just once in their last four league games, but remain firmly in third place in La Liga, while Leganes are 17th with just eight points from nine games this season.

Latest Atletico Madrid vs Leganes squad information

Atletico Madrid will be without three players for their first game after the October international break, Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand and Cesar Azpilicueta.

There are expected to be a number of changes to the line-up from the previous game against Real Sociedad, with Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino likely to be brought into the starting line-up.

Alexander Sorloth has struggled to make his mark at Atletico with just one league goal this season, so he is likely to continue on the bench, while Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez will operate in the two forward positions.

As for Leganes, Naim Garcia is a question mark due to muscle problems, but overall the away team is in good form.

Renato Tapia and Matija Nastasic are both expected to return to the squad after recent issues, while there were no new concerns reported during the international break.

Coach Jimenez may decide to stick with the same line-up that played against Valencia, although there could be changes in attack, with Miguel de la Fuente possibly given a chance in place of Sebastien Haller.

Latest football commentary Atletico Madrid vs Leganes

Atletico Madrid remain unbeaten in La Liga this season with four wins and five draws from nine games, earning a total of 17 points and currently sitting third in the table, but seven points behind leaders Barcelona.

Simeone's side have just one win in their last four league games, a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo at the end of September, and have drawn back-to-back La Liga games against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Although Atletico remain unbeaten in La Liga, they suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League, losing 0-4 to Benfica earlier this month, which will put the pressure on them to get a positive result when they host Lille at the Wanda Metropolitano next week.

Atletico will also travel to Real Betis in La Liga later this month, before starting their 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign at Vic on October 31.

Despite scoring just 13 goals in nine La Liga games this season, Atletico have been solid at the back, conceding just five, the best defensive record in the league.

Meanwhile, Leganes are on a run of one win, five draws and three losses in nine La Liga games, with a total of eight points and currently 17th in the table.

Scoring goals has been a major issue for Leganes with just five goals scored, the joint-lowest in the league alongside Valencia, but they have also conceded just nine, suggesting this weekend's game in the Spanish capital could be a low-scoring affair.

Leganes need to find a way to win if they are to avoid relegation this season, but losing just a third of their games in 2024-25 is a positive sign.

Borja Jimenez's side head into this game on a three-game unbeaten run, having drawn with Getafe, Rayo Vallecano and Valencia since defeat to Athletic Bilbao in mid-September.

El Lega held Atletico to a 0-0 draw in their last meeting in January 2020, while Atletico's last two wins against the newly promoted side have been 1-0. The signs are that Sunday's game could be a low-scoring affair, and we expect it to be. It would be a surprise if Atletico don't win, but Simeone's side may need to be patient, with the winner likely to come in the second half at the Wanda Metropolitano.
