The hosts are in 19th position and in the relegation zone and have scored only four times in thirteen mathes. Xerez have had a difficult start in Primera and have won only seven points. Their key players have to remain healthy throughout the season and need to play very well to stay in the league. Its questionable how the home team will be able to face this pressure. The home side will face a tough opponent once again this evening. They have to withstand the initial assault to have some chances in this match.

This game could serve as the perfect tonic for Atletico so that they bounce back in style. And the best way to silence the critics is to let the football do the talking. Los Colchoneros hammered Espanyol 4-0 at Vicente Calderon in the previous round. If they win another game against the newcomer, they will take a big step forward and they will get themselves into a more comfortable position in mid-table. Beating Espanyol gave the visitors a great opportunity to change the recent trend. They will be confident and have a good opportunity to take another three points today.
I believe Atletico will confirm victory from the previous round… away win
