Atlético plays on Thursday (9:30 p.m.) in a complicated stadium like the Ciutat de Valencia and against a rival who is not particularly good at the Madrid team. After several games played at the Wanda Metropolitano, Atlético went out again. And for the team it can be a blessing. Atlético has been a great visitor so far this season, in contrast to the discreet numbers that he has garnered in front of his fans. A kind of upside down world in this rare start to the season for the Madrid team.
Thus, Atlético has played five games away from Wanda Metropolitano. He has won four and lost one. They only fell defeated against Alavés (1-0). Those of Cholo beat Celta, Espanyol and Getafe, in LaLiga and also defeated Milan, in the only game they have played as a visitor.
There is the curious circumstance that Atlético has won 1-2 the four games in which they are has taxed at home. And in three of them he had to come back, since he started losing: Espanyol, Getafe and Milan. In Vigo, in the first league match, he did get ahead on the scoreboard, although Celta tied and Correa, who made a double, put Simeone’s men ahead again. Atlético have been conspired to start strong against Levante and not be surprised by their rival.
Last season Atlético scored 38 points away from their stadium. He won eleven games, tied five and lost three. Real Madrid, with 42 points, and Barcelona, with 41, were better than Atlético in away games. Now he faces a tough test, against Levante, and next week, he will have two tough away commitments: Liverpool and Valencia.
