La Liga
Atletico Madrid hosts Malaga on Wednesday, starting with an experimental lineup. In the second half, Simeone brought in key players who secured the 2:0 victory. National player Alex Baena scored, and before him, the new signing Lee Kang-In opened his goal account with the "mattress makers." Simeone will likely again deploy Ademola Lookman at the top of the attack, as the saga with Julian Alvarez continues, and Alexander Sörloth remains sidelined. We will also see if there will be any rotations again.
Villarreal could not start the campaign with a win. They came back from two goals down but only managed a 2:2 draw in their away match against the newcomer Santander. The new manager Inigo Perez now faces an even tougher task. Villarreal has won only one of their last seven visits in La Liga, and last season they earned just one point from their away matches against teams in the top 8.
Prediction: victory for Atletico and both teams to scoreAtletico traditionally performs strongly at their "Metropolitano." Villarreal needs to improve in their visits against top teams. Now, even against a newcomer, they couldn't win away. I think Atletico can achieve another home victory, but both teams could score in the match.
