Atletico Madrid, led by coach Diego Simeone, is facing a strong night, and he shares the top spot in the Spanish league standings with 10 points, equal with Real Madrid and Valencia, who outperform him only by goal difference, while Athletic Bilbao is fifth with 8 points.
Al-Rukhi Blancos is seeking to win in order to continue the competition for the top spot in La Liga, and to achieve its second consecutive victory in the competition, after achieving a fatal victory over its host Espanyol, 2-1, in the match that brought them together in the fourth round of matches at the “Power 8” stadium.
Atlético Madrid had recently fallen into the trap of a goalless draw against its Portuguese guest, Porto, in the match that brought the two teams together, last Wednesday evening, at the “Wanda Metropolitano” stadium, in the first round of the second group stage of the Champions League group stage.
