Atlético Madrid are still smarting from their Champions League defeat to Liverpool. It was yet another last-minute defeat for Simeone, who was then sent off for responding to insults from the stands. In short, it ended in the worst possible way.
Last weekend, the Colchoneros secured their first league win of the season, on the fourth matchday. It has been a forgettable start for the Madrid side, but when they get into gear, they have the quality to make their mark. Things also went well in England—except for the ending, of course—because Simeone’s team managed to equalize after being two goals down, proving without a doubt that they are still alive.
Mallorca, on the other hand, has had a terrible start to the season: of course, Muriqi and his teammates have already faced Real and Barcelona in four games. And now the tough run of fixtures will end with Atletico. Next week’s midweek game will mark the start of the real championship for this team, which is preparing for another defeat.

The prediction
The last four matches between these two teams have ended with only one team scoring. We don’t think that will happen again this time, given Atletico’s defensive problems. Therefore, in a match with at least three goals in total, there will be an away win. The second in a row for Simeone.
