Deportivo Alaves host Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Saturday evening in a pivotal La Liga encounter.
The home side will be looking to build on their recent form under Eduardo Coudet, while Los Rojiblancos aim to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Elche last time out.
Diego Simeone continues to manage injury concerns ahead of the trip to Vitoria-Gasteiz. Alex Baena remains sidelined with an adductor muscle injury sustained during the season opener against Espanyol, which is expected to keep him out until early September. The former Villarreal midfielder will miss this clash and potentially the following fixture.
Jose Gimenez is also unavailable, continuing his recovery from a muscle injury picked up during the Club World Cup. The Uruguayan defender is not expected to return until early September, leaving Simeone with limited options at centre-back.
Pablo Barrios has returned to the starting eleven and impressed again Elche, after suffering a low-grade muscle injury during pre-season.
Atletico Madrid predicted XI: Oblak, Llorente, Le Normand, Hancko, Ruggeri; Cardoso, Gallagher, Almada; Griezmann, Alvarez, Sorloth.
Deportivo Alaves take on Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Saturday August 30th 2025. Kick-off in at 4:00pm BST.
The Deportivo Alaves vs Atletico Madrid match on August 30, 2025 will be broadcast live in the UK on Premier Sports 1 and LaLigaTV.
