Valencia vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Valencia are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Celta Vigo by 2-0, before beating Girona by 1-0. The winning streak came to an end against Athletic Bilbao, who ran out 1-0 winners. Valencia managed to win two of their past six home matches in the La Liga. In the remaining four, they drew two and lost two, as they scored five and conceded six goals.

Finishing inside the top half is the bare minimum Valencia expect for this season, but the ideal target is a spot in Europe.

In the last three matches, Atletico Madrid beat Real Sociedad 1-2, won 0-3 against Getafe, and lost 0-2 against Villarreal. In their last six La Liga away matches, Atletico Madrid won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn none and lost twice, scoring eight while also conceding four times.

The big goal of the season for Atletico Madrid is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming La Liga season.

Valencia find it tough these days to get a goal in, but Atletico Madrid are equally lacklustre in front of goal currently, and going with under 2.5 goals in the betting market is the obvious choice.
