Atletico madrid team has took over real madrid spot and they are now on the second position and seeing their upcoming game i don't think the standing will change both of them are expected to win, real madrid will face at home getafe who are on the relegation zone and atletico will face elche the last team on the standings so i expect an easy win for both teams.
Atletico Madrid has increased their performance, which it will give them boldness to face Elche and defeat them 2-1 in their next match because their coach has done a lot of work that will help them to maintain that second position for people to believe that they have something special to achieve in this season. I don't think, Real Madrid will win their next match because their performance has reduced compared to the beginning of this tournament that made many people to believed that they will win this la Liga league title, but few matches they started reducing points that gave others team opportunity to took first and second position from them.
Actually when talking about Atletico I think we know every season they do that.
They are always bad at the start of the season and the longer it is, especially towards the end of the season, the better their performance is and this has happened for several seasons and now it is like that.
Their chances of being in second place are still quite well maintained, especially after silencing Cadiz with a fairly crushing score.
Their opponents in the rest of this match are indeed not too tough, it's just that for a few matches at the end, Sociedad and Villareal are waiting.
