Latest team news for Atletico Madrid vs Leganes
Atletico Madrid will be missing three players for their first match after the October international break: Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand, and Cesar Azpilicueta.
The lineup may see some changes from the match against Real Sociedad, with Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino likely to start. Alexander Sorloth has yet to make a significant impact with only one goal this season, so he may continue to be on the bench, while Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez will be the two main strikers.
For Leganes, Naim Garcia's absence is still uncertain due to a muscle issue, but the visitors are in good form. Renato Tapia and Matija Nastasic are expected to return after recent problems, and no new concerns have arisen during the break. Coach Jimenez may keep the same lineup that played against Valencia, but could make changes in attack with Miguel de la Fuente replacing Sebastien Haller.

Latest football match prediction: Atletico Madrid vs Leganes
Atletico Madrid are currently unbeaten in La Liga this season with four wins and five draws, accumulating 17 points and sitting in third place, but seven points behind league leaders Barcelona. However, they have only won one of their last four matches, a 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo, and have drawn two consecutive games against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
Despite being unbeaten in La Liga, Atletico suffered a 0-4 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League, putting pressure on them ahead of their next match against Lille at the Wanda Metropolitano. Later this month, they will travel to Real Betis for a La Liga match, before starting the Copa del Rey on October 31st. Although they have only scored 13 goals in nine matches, Atletico have boasted the most solid defense in the league with only five goals conceded.
Meanwhile, Leganes have a record of one win, five draws, and three losses, sitting 17th with eight points. Scoring is a major issue with only five goals, the fewest in the league, but their defense has only conceded nine goals, suggesting this weekend's match could be low-scoring. Leganes need a win to avoid relegation, but losing only one-third of their games this season is a positive sign.
Borja Jimenez and his team are on a three-match unbeaten run, with draws against Getafe, Rayo Vallecano and Valencia. Leganes previously held Atletico to a 0-0 draw in January 2020, and Atletico's two most recent wins against Leganes were also 1-0. Sunday's match is likely to be low-scoring, and Atletico may need patience, with the winning goal potentially coming in the second half at the Wanda Metropolitano.
