Atlético Madrid vs Elche: Simeone's Side Should Win, But It Won't Be Pretty
Watch Antoine Griezmann against Elche's backline — he's been the creative engine in Atlético's recent wins and a defense that's conceded in 20 of 31 games won't contain him.
Atlético's 17-6-8 record looks solid but those 8 losses sting, and they've been inconsistent enough that this isn't a walkover. Elche's 7-11-13 record tells you everything — they're a side that draws too much and wins too little, sitting in serious trouble.
Atlético win 2-0. Griezmann gets on the scoresheet and Elche don't have the firepower to punish Simeone's defense on a focused night at the Metropolitano.
