Three out of three….
Simeone’s Atletico looking for third straight win in the league in a difficult trip to the Reyno de Navarra
Atletico Madrid visits the Reyno of Navarra stadium with the idea of repeating the outcome of last season when thery won by 2-3 against Osasuna, and to extend Simeone’s winning streak with a third straight win that would take them closer to the European places. Since the arrival of the Argentine coach, the team has not conceded a goal, which has allowed them to approach the battle for Europe in pursuit of the objective of getting into the final Champions league spot.
The Argentina coach will be without two very important midfielders, Gabi and Diego, who are left off the list due to the accumulation of cautions. Antonio Lopez, is prevent playing against is former team due to an injury picked up in the last game. The 'Cholo' has decided to call up the young striker Pedro Martin, to compensate for these losses.
To compensate for the absence of Gabi and Diego, Simeone seems to be opting for Mario Suarez, who started in San Sebastian to cover the absence of Tiago, and the young Koke, who dazzled in the minutes he played in Anoeta, providing Falcao with two assists to complete his hat trick. In all other positions there are no likely changes, but the fight for a place in every training is brutal and there are players who are pushing to stop and Dominguez, Perea, Salvio, and Asenjo, as Simeone pointed out in his own appearance before reporters on Thursday.
Atletico come up against an Osasuna side who hasaccumulated 27 points in the championship and, as always, has made the Reyno de Navarra stadium a fortress, of which only one team has escaped with the three points so far: Racing Santander ( 0-2). In the Reds ranks will be an old acquaintance of the red and whites, Raul Garcia, a player on loan at Osasuna this season. There are two other former Atletico players in Ibrahima, injured and Ricardo, who has been left out due to a technical decision.
The big danger in Navara will come from set piece with excellent deliveries in to the area from corners and wide free kicks. The presence of tall players players such as Nekounam, Sergio, Miguel Flaño, Lekic or Raul Garcia will keep Thibaut Courtois busy
In the last ten clashes in Pamplona, Atletico has scored points three times. The aforementioned victory by 2-3 last year, a scoreless draw in 2008-09 and a 1-2 victory in 2006-07. The remaining matches ended in rojiblanca defeat, which speaks very clearly of how difficult this visit to the Reyno de Navarra is.
The weather conditions will be another element this time in Pamplona. Although it appears that snow is not expected, the temperature at kick off will be hovering around the negative values. The cold will be another rival for the red and whites as they go in search of the three points to catapult them up the table. |
