Against all odds – AS.com

Atlético wants to finish 2020 at the top of the table and To do this, he must win the most accessible rival for Cholo, a Getafe that has not been able to score a goal for Simeone's team in the games they have faced. Simeone has met Getafe 17 times (with a Cup tie in between), with a balance of 15 rojiblancas victories and two draws, 33 goals in favor and none against (follow the game live on As.com).

The azulón team has not scored any so much for Cholo and under that prism the match seems decided in advance. But football offers new opportunities in every game and Getafe visits the Wanda Metropolitano with the intention of scratching some point. He knows that it is not easy, but the Bordalás team is not one of those who gives up. A Bordalás no longer as mediatic as before but that has managed to make Getafe live installed in tranquility among the best teams in LaLiga. Without a doubt, a lot of merit.

Atlético, meanwhile, remains strong, with faith, determined not to lower the piston. Against Real Sociedad, in the last league match, he held a match with an overwhelming superiority. Oblak had to intervene when there were less than ten minutes left and Simeone's men came out of San Sebastián, very reinforced. And it seems that nobody wants to make it easy for them and their own external enemies grow. A few days ago it was the English Federation that knocked out Trippier (Curiously sanctioned just when there is no match for the national team).

And the last stake came from the house itself, with Diego Costa as the protagonist. That is Atleti, where there is no peace of mind, not even when the team plays good games, plays good football, and the entity lives a successful social stage. But that does not diminish the group of Simeone, who He will direct his 500th game to Atlético. Now it has been nine years since he arrived and revolutionized the club. This year he is looking for the league title but for that he must win games like against Getafe.

El Cholo will have João Félix, sick against Real Sociedad; and Vrsaljko is new, who played a few minutes in the Cup and will start for Trippier. He is a good player who has been hurt by injuries. Lemar (the rojiblanco 'signing'), Carrasco, Marcos Llorente and Koke will play in the engine room. Getafe has casualties in defense: Nyom, Damián Suárez and Cabaco, what conditions the azulona rear. Neither will Cucho, sanctioned four games.

Bordalás has to reassemble pieces, but he can count with the Arambarri, Cucurella, Jaime Mata … Notable players who can scare anyone. Getafe, by the way, he scored in Vitoria, against Valencia, in Eibar and won in Cádiz. He fell to Real Sociedad and Levante. Simeone has built his match by match by paying maximum attention to this type of match in which winning is an obligation. Atlético wants, against all odds, to finish leading the year.
