The Season end are urging Nearer as Diego Dimeone side will travel to La Rosaleda as the outcome of fixture will be essential to determine the position of the red and white side at the season end.Atleti are nine points adrift of The Calatans at the table top, and they need to outblow every team if they hope to defend the title.
The Champs have been on a disappointing away term this season, registering only seven wins, as compared to Eleven recorded by both Calatans and Real Madrid.
Atleti defender Juanfran is to return from suspension, but Mario Mandzukic (ankle) and Raul Garcia (elbow) are still serving the sidelines.
QUOTE NOTES :
Diego Simone :
"We are entering complex matches. Playing away from home in this instance is not the same as in the first round of play because the rivals play differently and have more needs.Saturday's and the next game are away and will be almost deciding for what is left in La Liga."
Javi Gracia :
"What Atletico Madrid do on the pitch deserves great credit. They're not going to give anything away; despite being a major team they don't have the vices of a big squad. Looking at their results can be somewhat discouraging. We're up against a solid, competitive team who are dangerous on set pieces.Atletico have a lot of variants, and although we'll try and impose our style of play at our home ground, it won't be easy. They are a candidate to take the league title again this season, but I hope their chances are diminished after this match.We are looking ahead to this match with courage and enthusiasm, knowing how demanding it will be and that we must perform as well as we can."
Fortunately, however, Malaga's hopes of qualifying for European football haven't completely vanished, with Villarreal, currently one place ahead in sixth, enduring an equally difficult stretch that continued this week when they were beaten 3-0 at home by Espanyol.
