Of the two teams, Joselu is the best scorer with 12 goals in 29 games, so his team will have to supply him with balls due to his efficiency in front of goal this season.

Héctor Herrera is taking his best level in the last games he will have as a colchonero, to what Diego Simeone himself has recognized; in the last games he has been more in the defensive part, being key for the club to obtain good results.

Deportivo Alavés is in an emergency situation as they are second last with only 22 points and, therefore, they need to get points from wherever and however they can to try to save the category in a closing match that seems to be very tough in the Spanish league; in their last match they lost 3-2 against Granada.

Atletico Madrid is in fourth place in the general table and has the task of not dropping points for two reasons. The first is because they are neck and neck with Barcelona for third place and, in addition, because they will face Manchester City in midweek in the Champions League.

The Atletico Madrid vs Alaves match will be played at the Wqanda Metropolitano Stadium, in Madrid, Spain. The kick-off is scheduled at 3:00 pm ET.
