Atletico Madrid added four points to the standings in their previous three matches, where they first beat Rayo Vallecano 0-7. They were then defeated 3-0 against Valencia, before drawing 1-1 against Lazio. Atletico Madrid bulldozed their way through the previous six La Liga outing at Civitas Metropolitano. They won all six, adding 18 points to their account, whilst scoring 18 and conceding five.
