Atlético Madrid vs Granada: Potential danger

Atletico Madrid has a relatively comfortable opening match of the Spanish league when playing at home. On the other hand, their opponent in tonight's match is Granada's favorite prey and coach Simeone's teachers and students are confident to aim for all 3 points in the match in the first round.

That's the theory, but looking at the actual performance, Atletico Madrid will have a tough match and it's not easy to beat the opponent with a big difference. Remember, the Madrid team has only won 2 times (with a score of 2-1) in the last 7 matches in all competitions.

Contrary to the ups and downs of the home team, Granada is a stubborn name that is not easy to bully when winning 8, drawing 2 and losing only 1 match (with a score of 0-1) in the last 11 matches. The point to note, Granada is showing signs of improving the head-to-head record when winning 1 and drawing 1 time in 2 matches against Atletico in the league last season.

- Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Soyuncu, Savic, Hermoso; Azpilicueta, Llorente, Koke, De Paul, Carrasco; Angel Correa, Griezmann.

- Granada: Ferreira; Sanchez, Rubio, Miquel, Neva; Melendo, Gumbau, Ruiz, Puertas; Callejon, Uzuni.
