Atletico Madrid XI vs Real Oviedo – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid travel to the Municipal Carlos Tartiere on Saturday night to take on Real Oviedo in their LaLiga matchday 26 clash.

Diego Simeone’s men will be looking to claim all three points and widen the gap between themselves and fifth-placed Real Betis.

Atletico are currently fourth in LaLiga with 48 points from 25 games, sitting three points adrift of third-placed Villarreal. They have won three of their last five matches, including a 4-1 midweek victory over Club Brugge that sealed their place in the Champions League last-16, and a 4-2 league win against Espanyol on February 21.

Rodrigo Mendoza is available again after completing his suspension, although there are still doubts over Nico Gonzalez and Pablo Barrios, who might be sidelined once more.

Alexander Sorloth, who scored a hat-trick in that 4-1 win over Club Brugge, is expected to lead the line again, with Julian Alvarez likely to join him in attack.

Ademola Lookman is expected to return on the flank, while Nahuel Molina could come into the XI at right-back, which may allow Marcos Llorente to move back into midfield.
