Coach Simeone team is preparing to return to competition on Sunday with what seems to be a relatively easy match against a newly promoted team. After this match, they will face Lille in the Champions League at home, giving them two opportunities to secure victories that will boost their morale after a disappointing performance in recent matches, especially the heavy 4-0 defeat against Benfica in Lisbon.
-- The Need for Atlético Madrid to Win
Atlético Madrid must aim for a strong victory in this match to dispel doubts surrounding the team’s performance at the start of the season. Their opponent, Leganés, is a modest team, allowing Simeone the chance to exploit this despite the absence of some players like Lo Norman and Llorente. In contrast, Leganés has limited attacking capabilities, which puts Atlético in a favorable position.
Since their last win on September 26, when they secured a narrow victory over Vigo, Atlético has not achieved any convincing victories. Their last clear win was a 3-0 triumph over Valencia on September 15. While their recent opponents have been much stronger, Leganés presents an ideal opportunity to regain confidence.

-- The Situation with Leganés
After a promising start, Leganés now appears less competitive in the league, relying solely on a defensive system. Since their only win against Las Palmas, the team has managed only four draws and three losses.
-- Match Predictions
The predictions lean towards an Atlético Madrid victory, which is logical given the team’s level. I believe there are good betting opportunities in the market, especially since Leganés may not score many goals.
I see Atlético being able to score more than one goal in this match, and the best bets would focus on goal-scoring rather than just the win.
My prediction is that Atlético Madrid will score over 1.5 goals in the match.
