Atletico weak in defence: just one clean sheet in 2021

Atletico Madrid have done brilliantly in attack and got worse in defence. Jan Oblak, who is still the La Liga keeper to have conceded the least number of goals, has conceded more goals than normal in recent games. 

Data speaks for itself. Simeone's men have only kept one clean sheet in 2021 so it is worrying news for the Argentinian coach. 

Atletico have played eight matches up to now and only kept one clean sheet. That was in a 2-0 win over Sevilla at the Wanda. 

The rest of the teams (Alaves, Eibar, Valencia, Cadiz, Celta, Granada and Levante) have all scored at least once.

To make things worse, Atletico have conceded goals in 11 La Liga matches of the 22 they have played. Six of those 11 have come in their last six games. 

However, despite conceding, Atletico Madrid have not lost any of those fixtures.
