Valencia vs Atletico Madrid: Preview

Atlético Madrid: Los Rojiblancos are currently on the fourth spot in the LaLiga table. They have just one win in their last five games, including the two losses to Liverpool in the Champions League. Atletico will be desperate to change their fortunes when they take on Valencia on Sunday.

Head to Head Stats 

In their last 26 encounters since September 2010, Valencia have won 4 times and Atletico Madrid have had 13 victories. Their encounter has ended in a draw a whopping nine times. 

Players to watch out for 

Goncalo Guedes (Valencia): The Portuguese forward has been Valencia’s go-to man this season. Guedes has not had the best of starts, but he has 3 goals and 2 assists in LaLiga this season. Guedes would have to fire as his club desperately needs this win.

Luis Suarez (Atletico Madrid): Suarez has been Atletico Madrid’s “Hitman” this season. The striker has blanked in four of his last five matches, which makes him even more dangerous. He would be looking to add to his six LaLiga goals as he takes to the field against Valencia.

Prediction

Valencia 1-1 Atlético Madrid 

Atletico Madrid does look like the favorites on paper. But given the history of this fixture and the fact that both teams are lacking form, the game could probably be another draw between the sides.
