The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Almeria lock horns with Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side in an important clash at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form this season. Los Colchoneros suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
