Betting on Club Atletico de Madrid
Without having to bear the burden of European games, Atlético Madrid has performed very well in recent weeks, consolidating its place in the Champions League for next campaign.
Diego Simeone’s men are undefeated in nine games in the Spanish championship. Besides, it is third in the standings with 48 points, six more than Betis, a team that is in fifth position with a spot in the Europa League.
True to the style of its Argentinian coach, the colchonero’s defense has been unbeatable in recent weeks, and during its unbeaten run it has conceded just three goals. As a result, it is placed in second position of the general standings, tied with Real Madrid, with the lowest number of goals conceded with 19.
Atletico has also found the scoring compass, even though it has won six games with a 1-0 scoreline. The team from Madrid has the third-best attack in La Liga with 39 goals scored. This is a great achievement for a team that is known for its good defense.
At home this season, it has just three defeats in 12 games, two of them against Real Madrid and Barcelona. It is important to point out that its opponents have scored just 11 goals against it.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Jan Oblak; Nahuel Molina, José María Giménez, Mario Hermoso, Stefan Savic, Yannick Carrasco; Koke, Thomas Lemar, Marcos Llorente; Antoine Griezmann, Memphis Depay.
Betting on Valencia Club de Fútbol
As a result of two wins in the last three games, Valencia has high hopes of salvation, although visiting the Metropolitano this weekend is not encouraging.
Los Ché has not won at Atletico’s home for 11 games. In fact, in this campaign, it is the third-worst away team with only six points out of a possible 36. It is worth noting that is tied for the second-fewest goals scored with eight, as visitors.
This performance is largely the main cause for the fact that Rúben Baraja’s team is in 17th place in the standings with 26 points, the same number as Getafe. The latter has the last ticket to the second division because it has a worse goal difference.
One piece of good news ahead of the clash is that Valencia will have the return to action of Uruguayan striker Edison Cavani. The experienced attacker is coming back from injury at a very important moment when his team needs to start attacking more frequently.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Giorgi Mamardashvili; Dimitri Foulquier, Mouctar Diakhaby, Cenk Özkacar, José Gayà; Yunus Musah, André Almeida, Hugo Guillamón; Samu Castillejo, Justin Kluivert, Hugo Duro.
JefeBet Prediction
Valencia’s need for salvation could lead it to perform well at the Metropolitano, although this does not mean that it will leave the stadium with all three points in its pockets.
On the other hand, since the return from the World Cup break, Atletico Madrid has been one of the best teams in the league. since in that period it has not experienced a defeat at home. Besides, at home, this team is known for putting up an impenetrable defense.
This firmness of Simeone’s team together with Valencia’s offensive problems away from home make us think that it will be a close and tight match, something characteristic of both clubs.
Prediction: Under (ATM 1 – VAL 1).
