Atletico Madrid vs Numancia Prediction and Betting Tips | July 27th 2024 

Atletico Madrid will face Numancia at the Estadio Municipal de El Burgo de Osma on Saturday in a pre-season friendly between the two teams. Colchoneros enjoyed a largely solid campaign last season, finishing fourth in the La Liga standings, eight points clear of Athletic Club in fifth place. Diego Simeone's men will now be looking to climb up the rankings in the upcoming campaign.

Atleti will kick off their pre-season campaign on Saturday and then face Getafe in another friendly next weekend. They are then slated to face Kitchee and Juventus in Hong Kong and Sweden respectively, before returning to competitive action against Villarreal next month.

Numancia currently play in the Segunda Federacion, the fourth tier of Spanish football and have their sights set on promotion next season. They made it to the promotion playoffs last season, picking up a 4-2 aggregate victory over Utebo in the semifinals before losing out to Yeclano Deportivo in the final.

Following Saturday's game, Numantinos will face Unionistas, Ponferradina and Izarra over the next couple of weeks before making their return to league action against Compostela at the end of August.

Atletico Madrid vs Numancia Prediction

Atletico ended the previous campaign with five wins from their final six games and will be looking to pick up from where they left off. They have historically performed well in this fixture and head into the weekend's clash as overwhelming favorites.

Numancia'a latest result ended a three-game unbeaten streak and they will be looking to bounce back here. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should, however, see Atletico come out on top.

Prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Numancia
