Atletico Madrid need to return to winning ways and the fans at Vicente Calderon can help them achieve that against Sporting Gijon, says Koke.
After being held 1-1 by Deportivo La Coruna at the Riazor last week, Diego Simeone's men stumbled to a goalless Champions League draw against Astana in Kazakhstan on Tuesday.
Koke - who has been included in Vicente del Bosque's Spain squad for forthcoming friendlies with England and Belgium - believes they have the capacity to continue that fine run on Sunday and has called on the Vicente Calderon support to inspire them to victory.
"I think the team is very strong and eager to win. After these two draws we want to win. I think that if we do things well, we will achieve it," the midfielder told Atletico's official website.
"Sporting are not going to make it easy. They're a team with great enthusiasm which came up from the second division and play good football.
"We expect a complicated match, but we will be at home, wanting to win for the fans. I hope we can get the three points."
The Croatia playmaker acknowledged that his team – who are yet to secure successive victories this season – are firm underdogs on Sunday but hopes they can leave the capital with something to show for their efforts.
"I scored my first goal at El Molinon," Halilovic said. "We're going to continue this way. I want to keep learning and keep helping the team.
"It will be a very difficult game; the Calderon's a very complicated ground. But we've worked well during the week leading up to the game.
"Atletico Madrid are favourites, but if we can play our football, we could beat them or come away with a draw. If we use our system well, we can get a result."
