Atletico Madrid vs Las Palmas: Preview, Prediction & Betting Tips.

This betting preview contains recent form, possible lineups, injury news, match predictions and betting tips for Atletico Madrid vs Las Palmas.

Fixture: Atletico Madrid vs Las Palmas League: La Liga Venue: Vicente Calderon Stadium Date: 17th December 2016 Kick-off: 3:15pm GMT

Betting Preview:

Defeat to Villarreal has really increased the pressure on Diego Simeone and his men. Certainly, there is a long way to go in the season but their title aspirations have taken a huge hit after Monday's defeat to Villarreal. Atletico are a shadow of the side that has ran riot in La Liga over the past two seasons and it maybe down to Simeone's change in system and tactics that the squad are struggling to adapt to. If Simeone's men strive to make things right and avoid slipping further away from the likes Barcelona and Real Madrid and Sevilla then Saturday's game against impressive minnows Las Palmas represents a huge opportunity for three points. Las Palmas sit in a healthy mid-table position unbeaten in 3 games, where many have expected them to be relegation strugglers. Quique Setien and his men have exceeded expectations so far this season. However, they have not tasted victory on the road since the opening game of the season.

Match Prediction:

Despite Las Palmas dismal away form, all statistics point to a home win for Atletico Madrid as Diego Simeone's men are out to change their fortunes around and climb back up the table. Certainly, stranger things have happened this season in La Liga and Las Palmas do have it in them to cause a major shock but Simeone's men cannot afford another disappointing performance especially in front of their own fans. Home victory.

Possible Lineups:

Atletico Madrid: Moya; Vrsaljko, Savic, Godin, Hernandez; Koke, Gabi, Niguez, Carrasco; Griezmann, Torres Las Palmas: Varas; Maceda, Garcia, Bigas, Castellano; Mesa, Gomez, Viera, Momo, Tana; Livaja
