One of the standout matches in the Spanish top-flight this weekend will see Atletico Madrid and Valencia collide. Both sides come into this showdown in solid form, but the visitors could be a decent selection to extend their winning run after claiming victories in each of their previous four.
La Liga Preview
One of the most exciting matches in La Liga this weekend will take place on Sunday, as Valencia bids to continue their winning momentum and close the gap on the Champions League spots. The Spanish side comes into the weekend sitting nine points off the top four positions, but they boast some of the best recent form in the competition after winning their last four matches.
Atletico Madrid currently sit in the final Champions League spot in the Spanish top-flight, but their form has stuttered in recent weeks after winning just twice in their last five. That means that this weekend’s showdown is a must-win clash for the capital club, as a defeat could leave them outside the Champions League spots by the end of the road. However, they did land a commanding victory in their last match in the competition. Bet here
Despite struggling for victories in recent months, Atletico still comes into this fixture having gone 21 home matches without defeat in the Spanish top-flight. That is their longest unbeaten home sequence in the competition since February 2021. Over that period, they have won on 19 occasions and have played out just two draws.
Valencia won’t be daunted by the challenge, as they have shown excellent form on the road recently. They come into this match after winning each of their last two on the road. However, they haven’t won three straight fixtures away from home since November 2017.
Atletico Madrid vs Valencia Head to Head
Valencia were commanding 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture this season. That win ended a 17-match unbeaten sequence in this fixture for Atletico. In fact, the hosts haven’t lost both league matches against Valencia in a single season since 2006-07.
Atletico Madrid vs Valencia Prediction
This should be an entertaining match in La Liga this weekend, and it could be challenging to oppose Atletico, as they are unbeaten in their last 12 home matches against Valencia. However, given the form of the visitors, we will be prepared to take a chance on the Spanish sides playing out a draw on Sunday.
