Atletico Madrid find themselves at the topmost position in the Spanish La Liga table when they prepare to take on Granada at home this weekend. Thanks to their unbeaten start to the season and also to the latest slips by Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, Simeone’s men didn’t look comfortable at the start of the season when they were held to consecutive draws by the newly promoted sides Leganes and Alaves. The ship is now steady after taking 4 wins and a crucial draw against title rivals Barcelona in the last 5 fixtures.

Granada are one of the two sides in the league who are still without a win after 7 matchdays in the 2016/17 La Liga season. They took 2 draws along the way, while lost the remaining 5 and are at the rock bottom in the league table. A win is necessary for them to get the season back on track, but at least a point will do wonders to their confidence while coming against a strong Atletico Madrid side.
