Atletico Madrid to Win with Handicap (-1)
Given the simple fact the Arenteiro plays in the fourth rank of Spanish football while Atletico Madrid is one of the best teams in the country, there's little doubt about the outcome of this game.
With that in mind, our first prediction for this match is for Atletico Madrid to win this game by two or more goals, even though Arenteiro is at the top of their league right now.
Under 1.5 First Half Goals
While we do expect to see a comfortable win for the guests, Arenteiro will certainly try to put up a fight. Also, they are hosting this game, so we can see a relatively quiet first half here.
After all, Atletico will likely field a mixed team and Arenteiro only conceded seven goal in fifteen league games. So, it may take some time for Atletico to break their defenses, so our next prediction is for us to see at most one goal in the first half.

Arenteiro vs Atletico Madrid Preview: Recent Form, News, and Probable Lineups
While the guests are clearly the favourites, this can still be an interesting game. So, let's check both teams out in more detail:
Arenteiro
After fifteen rounds in Segunda RFEF Group 1, Arenteiro is sitting at the top of the standings with thirty two points. The team has been a bit inconsistent lately with two wins, two draws, and one loss in the last five matches. Still, they remain at the top and one of the main candidates to earn promotion.
Arenteiro Predicted Lineup:
Garcia – Marquez, Bueso, Novoa, Sanchez – Fernandez, Cruz – Pibe, Marquitos, Mella – Escobar
Atletico Madrid
In the last six matches in La Liga before the break, Atletico Madrid notched two wins, two draws, and two losses. So, they haven't really been in impressive form in the league and they are in the fifth place overall, which is also far from their best. On top of that, the team was eliminated from Champions League, so they will likely fight hard for a good run in Copa del Rey.
Atletico Madrid Predicted Lineup:
Oblak – Mandava, Hermoso, Savic, Molina – Joao Felix, Witsel, Koke, Llorente – Correa, Cunha
Player to Watch: Joao Felix
Given the quality of the team that Atletico Madrid has, even their reserves are obviously great players. One of them is Joao Felix, who often starts Atletico's matches from the bench, but he is also getting a chance in most of their games. So, some would say that he's Atletico Madrid's “super-sub”.
The Portuguese forward/winger truly deserves that title since he managed to score three goals and add there assists so far in La Liga, despite only starting five games. Joao Felix also scored for his team in the previous round of Copa del Rey, so he is definitely the player to watch in this match.
