Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it 16 straight wins in all competitions when they head to Leganes in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.
Atletico Madrid:
Atletico Madrid are aiming to extend their remarkable winning streak to 16 matches across all competitions when they visit Leganes on Saturday. Diego Simeone's side have been in superb form, sitting at the top of La Liga with 13 league wins already this season. Their solid defensive structure has been key, having conceded just 12 goals in 19 matches. Atletico's attacking trio of Alexander Sorloth, Antoine Griezmann, and Julian Alvarez have been vital, with Sorloth leading the charge with eight league goals. Coming off a 4-0 Copa del Rey win over Elche, Atletico are in excellent shape heading into this weekend’s clash and will look to maintain their title challenge, sitting one point ahead of Real Madrid and six ahead of Barcelona.
Leganes:
Leganes have had a mixed season in La Liga but find themselves comfortably mid-table, currently sitting 16th with 19 points, three points clear of the relegation zone. After a solid Copa del Rey win over Almeria, they will hope to carry some momentum into their encounter with Atletico Madrid. Borja Jimenez's side have been tough to beat recently, having lost just one of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 victory over Barcelona. However, their form at home has been less than impressive, with just 10 points from nine matches. Against the league leaders, Leganes will have to produce a near-perfect performance to get anything from the game, especially considering Atletico’s superb form.
