Atletico Madrid welcome Real Oviedo to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Saturday night, with Diego Simeone’s men aiming to prolong their superb winning streak in La Liga.
The hosts come into the contest buoyed by five straight league victories. Real Oviedo, in contrast, arrive in the capital bottom of the table after a grim start to life back in the top flight following a 24-year exile.
Atletico Madrid team news
There is still uncertainty over the availability of first-choice goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who has been struggling with knee discomfort. The Slovenian captain sat out the midweek Champions League triumph over Inter Milan, where Juan Musso stepped in and produced a strong display between the posts.
Marcos Llorente is also at risk of missing out again. The midfielder sustained a thigh injury during last weekend’s 1-0 win away to Getafe. His issue forced him off just 14 minutes into the match.
At centre-back, Robin Le Normand remains in the treatment room. He continues to recover from a serious knee injury suffered earlier this month in the Champions League clash with Union Saint-Gilloise, an issue that could sideline the Spain international for the remainder of 2025.
Changes to the starting XI are anticipated, compared to the side that began the midweek victory over Inter Milan, as the coach manages fatigue and fitness across a packed schedule.
Atletico Madrid predicted lineup
Possible Atletico Madrid starting XI: Musso; Molina, Gimenez, Hancko, Ruggeri; Simeone, Barrios, Koke, Gonzalez; Alvarez, Baena.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Saturday, 29th November.
