Segunda B side Cornella will have the chance to host La Liga giants Atletico Madrid in their first match of the new year this Wednesday at the Campo Nuevo Municipal de Cornella. The hosts saw off another Segunda B side, Marino, who are bottom of the standings, to set up this clash with Atletico. That is their only win in the last five matches and the one goal scored in it is also their only one in the last five games, while they have two clean sheets. At home, Cornella have one loss, two wins and three clean sheets in their last five matches while in the Copa del Rey, they have one win in four matches. In their last 10 Copa del Rey matches, Cornella have managed just one clean sheet and will be hoping to rectify that starting with this game – their first ever meeting with Atletico.
Atletico on the other hand, have been on a fine run this season; they have only lost to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid and heading to this clash they have five straight wins. They are on top of La Liga standings despite having two matches in hand and are the best defensive side in the country at the moment. In La Liga, Atletico have conceded just six goals and heading to this game they have scored two or more in six of their last eight games. Atleti warmed up for this game with a 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves, Luis Suarez scoring in the final minute to hand them the win. Suarez has now scored four goals in the last four matches and should he play in this game, will be a key man to watch. The goal conceded against Alaves denied Atletico the chance to set three straight clean sheets, but they have six in their last 10 matches. This season, Atletico have played 22 matches already, and in only three have they conceded two or more goals. The La Liga giants have three straight away wins going to this game and have scored two or more goals in four of their last five away matches.

Our Cornellà vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico Madrid are outright favorites in this game. While we expect that Diego Simeone will rest a number of his top players, we doubt they will struggle against Cornella. Cornella have not been firing in their recent matches and with just one goal in the last five matches, they will definitely be second best here. A comfortable outing for Atletico is expected here and we will back them to lead at half time and full time.
