Los Amarillos have endured a torrid run, managing just 1 win in their last 5 league outings. Atletico haven’t been perfect either, with 2 defeats and a draw in the same period. However, Diego Simeone’s men appear to have found their rhythm again, stringing together two consecutive victories that have steadied their ship.
