Atletico Madrid return from their FIFA World Cup break when they take on CD Arenteiro in round two of the Copa del Rey on Thursday.

The La Liga side are winless in six of their last seven competitive matches and will be looking to arrest their slump.

CD Arenteiro failed to return to winning ways in the Segunda Federacion Group I as they played out a 1-1 draw with Zamora last Saturday.

This followed an uneventful goalless draw with UP Langreo on December 11 which saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.

Arenteiro have now turned their attention to the Copa del Rey, where they secured an impressive 2-0 victory over Almeria in the opening round.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid turned in a resilient team performance as they fought back from two goals down to secure a 4-2 victory over Ponferradina in their only friendly during the World Cup break on December 14.

Prior to that, Diego Simeone’s side picked up a 2-0 win over Almazan in their Copa del Rey opener on November 12 to end their five-game winless run.

Atletico Madrid are currently fifth in the La Liga standings after picking up 24 points from 14 matches.
