Atletico Madrid vs Racing Santander
Spanish Primera Division, 21h00
Atletico has a good Champions League performance, in their first season back. With a strong defence which is mostly covered by Ujfalusy and Heitinga, the Rojiblancos managed to qualify from a group with Liverpool, Marseille and PSV. That is huge. Now, in the domestic league, the picture is a little bit different, as they are outside the top-four. They managed dominating performances against mediocre teams but lost against teams of higher calibre. The fact that Kun Aguero is fatigued affected their performance. Still, the coach says we will see the Argentine's best face tonight.
Racing is some 3 spots under Atletico in the standings. They managed a draw at PSG in the UEFA Cup on Thursday and that has to be a morale booster, but we shall see if the fatigue will affect them tonight.
I tip Atletico to win, with a price as high as 3/5.
