Gamingtips Prediction – Atletico Madrid 3:1 Valencia

Although both sides are in very good form, Atletico Madrid have the best defensive record in the Spanish Primera Liga (conceded just 24 goals in 28 games – Valencia conceded 40 in 28) and this must give them a definite advantage considering Valencia concede as many goals as they score.  Odds of 4/6 are reasonable given their exceptional defensive record.
