Atleti Women must respond vs confident Alavés
After losing the derby to Real Madrid, Atlético host Alavés this Sunday needing a win in Liga F matchday two.
Atlético de Madrid Femenino arrive with pressure to meet Alavés this Sunday. In Liga F’s second round, Los Rojiblancos must grab three points following their opening defeat in the derby against Real Madrid (3-2).
Must-win after the derby
As Mundo Deportivo reports, the match at Ciudad Deportiva de Alcalá de Henares (kick-off 12:00) is vital to avoid falling behind early, especially with next away game against Barcelona on the horizon. For Atlético, the encounter could also be the stage for the potential debut of Jenni Hermoso, who returned to the club a few weeks ago.
Alavés comes boosted
Alavés, meanwhile, arrive in high spirits after winning their opener: they beat newly promoted Valencia 2-0, with goals from Brima and Guallar, according to the same outlet.
On her comeback, Jenni Hermoso said this Friday she is in “the ‘place’” where she wants to be with her return to Atlético. The big question for the fixture is whether Atlético can turn that urgency into points, while Alavés aim to extend their strong start.
The game will be broadcast on DAZN.
