Atletico suffered their first defeat of the season away to Valencia in the La Liga mid-way through September, and followed that with a 1-1 draw at Lazio in their Champions League opener on September 20. Nevertheless, Simeone’s men bounced back with back-to-back top flight victories against city rivals Real Madrid (3-1) and Osasuna. Los Colchoneros put two goals past Osasuna at El Sadar on Thursday night thanks to Antoine Griezmann’s 21st-minute opener and Rodrigo Riquelme’s effort nine minutes from time. It was their fourth league win of the season. Meanwhile, the Red and Whites will welcome Feyenoord at Wanda Metropolitano in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Cadiz, who finished 14th in the La Liga last term, have made a decent start to their 2023-24 campaign, recording two wins two defeats and three draws from seven outings so far. The Yellow Submarine’s last success came against Villarreal(3-1) at the start of September thanks to Chris Ramos’ 18th-minute equaliser and Darwin Machis’ brace. But since then, the Yellow Submarine have taken just two points from their last three fixtures, losing 3-0 to Athletic Bilbao before recording back-to-back draws against Real Betis and Rayo Vallecano. Meanwhile, Sergio Gonzalez’s side have only managed to find the back of the net on six occasions, which is the worst record in the division behind Las Palmas (two).
