Atletico Madrid vs Valencia
Competition – Spanish Primera
Stadium – Wanda Metropolitano
Date: 4th February 2018
Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT
These two sides come into this game as 3rd and 2nd in the league table and both will expect to at least finish inside the top four this season.
Atletico have the upper hand in this game as they have not lost a game at home this season and Valencia seem to have lost some of their early season form and could be undone here.
Atleti had been a lot more adventurous earlier in the season but it did not pay off well for them so they are back to winning games by 2-0 and 1-0 score lines.
80% of their home games this season has ended in under 2.5 goals scored.
They have conceded a lowly 0.43 goals per game this season although they have also scored just 1.4 goals on average per home game also.
Valencia have been more attacking and entertaining in their play this season however in their 1-0 loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey they showed that they can also hold their own when they want to and their fans will be hoping for the same resilient performance here.
Valencia need a strategy that will help them hold the host while also breaking them down on the counter.
Valencia had lost 4 consecutive games against Atletico Madrid before their 0-0 draw when the teams met at the Mestalla last year.
