The capital club have been unable to secure a win in their last five matches (with 2 draws and 3 losses), dropping them to 9th place in the standings. Their gap from the European competition spots has widened to 7 points. However, they remain a challenging opponent for any La Liga side, primarily due to their aggressive pressing and the work rate of their players. In the upcoming match, Sergio Camello, Jonathan Caballero, Abdul Mumin (all due to injuries), and Florian Lejeune (suspension) will be unavailable.
