In the direct games, Hercules have taken only two points against Atletico in 14 games, which actually shows the difficulty in this game. However, Atletico are not really doing well away from home, so a possible surprise is possible.

Atletico Madrid has won just one of the last nine games when Diego Forlan has been absent. He is supposed to return for this game, according to the media.
David Trezeguet has scored in every appearance he has made on this stadium so far this season. He is priced to score again at 2.87.
Although Hercules is on a row here, I am willing to back Atletico Madrid for few reasons. Obviously the visitors are in a better condition taking the 6th spot, vice-captain Diego Forlan is supposed to make a come back. He has been called however, manager Flores says “Forlan is not at 100%, but he’s been called up”. Top scorer Sergio Aguero is priced to score in this game at 2.50
