Overview
Atletico Madrid have been in poor form recently. They suffered two consecutive defeats against Lille in the Champions League and Real Betis in La Liga.
In the most recent match, coach Diego Simeone's team won against Vic in the Copa del Rey, but the performance was also very unconvincing.
Although Vic is only a semi-professional club, Atletico Madrid had to wait until the 81st minute to score and only won 2-0 in the end.
A big problem that worries Atletico Madrid and their fans is the low scoring performance of the attack despite having many stars.
Meanwhile, Las Palmas are showing signs of improvement after a difficult start. Coach Luis Carrion's team are on a three-game winning streak, including victories over Valencia and Girona in La Liga. In midweek, they also defeated Ontinena 7-0 in the Copa del Rey.
Despite being rated much lower than Atletico Madrid's star-studded squad, Las Palmas still have the ability to create surprises. Veteran Jaime Mata just scored a poker in the last match, while Alberto Moleiro (5 goals) and Sandro Ramirez (3 goals) are also playing impressively.
Las Palmas have also been a constant source of trouble for the Madrid side in recent years, winning two of the last six meetings between the two sides, including a win at the Metropolitano in 2017.
However, Atletico Madrid will take advantage of their chances after beating Las Palmas in 4/5 recent matches.
Human resources situation
Atletico Madrid are still without Cesar Azpilicueta, Clemen Lenglet, Pablo Barrios, Robin Le Normand and Marcos Llorente for this match. Meanwhile, the possibility of Thomas Lemar playing is still open.
On the other side of the front line, Las Palmas have less injury concerns as Marvin Park and Adnan Januzaj are the only absent players.
Expected lineup:
Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Molina, Witsel, Gimenez, Reinildo, Gallagher, De Paul, Koke, Sorloth, Alvarez, Griezmann.
Las Palmas: Cillessen, Rozada, Suarez, McKenna, Munoz, Campana, Essugo, Fuster, Rodriguez, Moleiro, Silva.
The match between Atletico Madrid and Las Palmas takes place at 20:00 on November 3 (Vietnam time).
