La Liga 2025-2026: Atletico Madrid-Oviedo, the probable formations

The Wanda Metropolitano is ready for another tension-filled night. Atletico Madrid arrive there with adrenaline still sky-high after their European feat against European runners-up Inter: Giménez’s header at the deadline brought back the Colchoneros’ fiercest soul, the one capable of changing destiny at the last gasp.

An overwhelming energy that now transfers to La Liga, where Simeone’s team is climbing up the standings with determined pace and increasingly declared ambitions.

Visiting the Madrid men on the 14th day of the season will be a Real Oviedo team embroiled in the relegation zone: last with 9 points, but still fully in the running thanks to a salvation that is only two points away. The recent 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano gave a trickle of confidence, showing a team capable – at least for stretches – of gritting its teeth and staying up.

Probable lineups:

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Musso; Molina, Giménez, Lenglet, Ruggeri; Nico González, Koke, Barrios, Griezmann; Álvarez, Sorloth.
Coach: Simeone.

Real Oviedo (4-2-3-1): Escandell; Vidal, Calvo, Costas, Carmo; Dendoncker, Cazorla; Colombatto, Ejaria, Hassan; Rondón.
Coach: Luis Carrión.
