Atletico – main title contender
Atletico Madrid has been in excellent form recording 6 straight wins in the domestic league with a goal difference of 12-3. Atletico has a comfortable lead of 4 points on the top with 2 more games to be played in advance. K.Trippier is suspended for a couple of games while M.Hermoso is suffering from an ankle injury.
Hard times for Valencia
The team of Valencia is currently placed on the 14th position only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. Valencia has faced many obstacles in the last year as many key players were sold – G.Kondogbia (Atletico Madrid), F.Coquelin and D.Parejo (Villarreal), Rodrygo (Leeds). We will stay doubtful whether Valencia will manage to oppose to Atletico tonight.
Final thoughts
It is going to be an intense and hard game. We think that Atletico should try not to lose this game at first place. Valencia should not be underestimated for sure. There will be a battle in the centre of the pitch and premises for cards and suspensions.
