Prediction: Atletico Madrid to win 2-1.
Atletico Madrid are stronger at home, having won nine of their last ten home matches across all competitions. They welcome Valencia at home, and their recent home results suggest they are increasingly likely to win this match.
Both teams scored in five of Atletico Madrid’s last ten matches. Both teams scored in six of Valencia’s last ten matches. Although both teams didn’t score in the reverse fixture, the chances of Atletico Madrid vs Valencia ending in BTTS are decent because they have scored in the majority of their last ten games.
Atletico Madrid advanced their place in the Copa del Rey when they left it late to beat Sevilla 1-0 at home on Thursday. They have a top-four finish to chase, and a win over Valencia will keep them in the top-four or possibly in the 3rd position, but only if Barcelona fail to beat Villarreal.
Valencia raised many eyebrows when they beat top-performing Athletic Bilbao 1-0 at home last time out, and they will only think about maintaining this energy against Atletico Madrid. They are unbeaten in their last five league matches with four wins and one draw, and their current upturn in form sees them sitting in the 7th position with 32 points.
