Atl. Madrid vs Valencia Prediction & Betting Tips (13 December)

Largely beaten by Barça at the Camp Nou 3-1, Atlético Madrid thought they were recovering from a more than sick Athletic Bilbao but even there, Atléti did not manage to win a 1-0 defeat. Two successive defeats in La Liga, we have a feeling of "déjà vu" for the Colchoneros who had started their La Liga campaign very, very badly. Fourth, the Madrilenians are 9 lengths behind FC Barcelona, ​​in control of the championship. During the week, a new match of fear awaited the partners of Antoine Griezmann, on the turf of PSV in the Champions League but in a crazy scenario, they brought back the 3 points in a 2-3 victory, putting themselves perfectly back in the race for the top 8. Let us note, however, that at home, Atlético is a real impregnable fortress. The last two defeats at the Metropolitano date back to April, against Barça twice, in the league and in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey. 6 times champion of Spain, Valencia is far from its former glory which carried it to the final of the Champions League in 2000 and 2001.

Today, the Ché club is jockeying for position in the race to remain, and has been doing so for several seasons now. The supporters must have had difficulty seeing the end of the tunnel, especially since their team has only won one of its last ten matches in the elite. Last weekend, for the reception of FC Sevilla, led for a long time, Valencia finally managed to snatch the point of the draw thanks to the excellent Duro, author of a beautiful marvel of number 9 1-1. A few days earlier, in pain, Carlos Corberan's men overcame Cartagena in the Copa del Rey victory 1-2 after extra time. In La Liga, Valencia is in 16th place, three points ahead of Girona, who played at Real Sociedad the day before. 

Diego Simeone must still cope without the injured Gimenez and Marcos Llorente. In addition, very little in sight this season, Johnny Cardoso (ex-Bétis) was injured recently. Arriving from Villarreal this summer, Alex Baena (2 goals, 1 assist in La Liga this season) is also riddled with problems and may not play today. The shortage is starting to be long for Julian Alvarez (scorer this week in the Champions League), unable to find the net for five matches in La Liga but who still has 7 goals to his credit. The attackers Antoine Griezmann and Sörloth (4 goals each in La Liga) will be at Diego Simeone's disposal. Absent from the match sheets since November 4, and missing the rally with Spain, Robin Le Normand was back in the group against Bilbao but did not play a single minute. During the week, he returned to the game against PSV. An own goal scorer against Sevilla, central defender Tarrega also received a yellow in the match, one too many which will send him directly to the suspended bench today. This is about right since former Lyon player Mouctar Diakhaby should be on his way back (injury, uncertain).

For the rest of the workforce, all of the executives will be traveling to the capital. Starting with the attacking quartet made up of Hugo Duro (5 goals in La Liga), Danjuma (3 goals, 1 assist), Luis Rioja (1 goal, 3 assists) without forgetting Almeida. The Santamaria Tricolor (1 goal, 1 assist) should also be there but the Pepelu - Guerra pair goes ahead in the hierarchy of midfielders. The probable compositions for Atlético Madrid - Valencia: Atlético Madrid: Oblak - Molina, Le Normand, Hancko, Ruggeri - G.Simeone, Koke (or Gallagher), Barrios, N.Gonzalez - Almada (or Griezmann), J.Alvarez.Valencia: Agirrezabala - Randall, Diakhaby (or Cömert), Copete, Gaya - Pepelu, Guerra - Rioja, Almeida, Danjuma - Duro.
