Back Atletico Madrid @ 1.748/11 to beat Huesca

In-form Atletico Madrid are on their way to La Liga's bottom club and Tobias Gourlay thinks they'll show no mercy

Huesca v Atletico Madrid
Saturday 17:30
(Live on Eleven Sports 1)

A couple of good results to report from yesterday. Western Sydney Wanderers went down 1-2 at home to Adelaide United to land our first goals bet of the day. Then Vitesse Arnhem beat Excelsior 3-2 to land our second one.

Today it's a Match Outcome market that's caught our eye. In Spain, Huesca's first ever Liga campaign has been tough. At the halfway point in the season, the tiny team from the north-east are six points clear at the bottom (W2-D5-L12). They finally won a home game against Real Betis last time out at El Alcoraz, but are still without a clean sheet after nine attempts.

Atletico Madrid have lost just one of their 19 Liga games this term. Diego Simeone's men are W9-D7-L0 since that solitary defeat, having won four of their last five. Overall this season, they've drawn too many road games (W2-D6-L1) but they are still only five points behind leaders Barcelona. With confidence building on the back of recent successes, we fancy the Mattress Makers will have too much for this afternoon's hosts.
