Sun Nov 03 15:25:09 UTC 2024: ## Atletico Madrid Favored to Overcome In-Form Las Palmas

**Madrid, Spain** – Atletico Madrid will be looking to get back on track in La Liga when they host the in-form Las Palmas at Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday. Atletico, currently fourth in the table, will be aiming to overcome a Las Palmas side that has won their last three matches in all competitions.

Despite suffering back-to-back defeats towards the end of last month, Atletico managed to secure a 2-0 win over Vic in the Copa del Rey on Thursday. However, they are still searching for their best form, having won only two of their last seven games across all competitions.

Las Palmas, on the other hand, are enjoying a resurgence after a difficult start to the season. Their recent form, including a 3-2 victory over Valencia and a 1-0 win over Girona, has lifted them out of the relegation zone. They will be looking to carry their momentum into Sunday’s match, especially after putting seven goals past Ontinena in the Copa del Rey.

While Atletico are considered the favorites, Diego Simeone’s side will need to be wary of a confident Las Palmas team. The visitors have a history of scoring against Atletico, even recording a 2-1 victory over the capital outfit in November 2023.

Atletico will be without several injured players, including Cesar Azpilicueta, Clement Lenglet, and Marcos Llorente. Las Palmas, meanwhile, will be without Marvin Park and Adnan Januzaj.

With both teams looking to secure a victory, Sunday’s match promises to be a captivating encounter. While Atletico are likely to have enough quality to secure all three points, Las Palmas’ recent form suggests they could make it a close contest.
