Atlético Madrid vs Real Valladolid tips

Atleti is a major contender to finish runner-up in the league, whereas Valladolid has a high probability of getting relegated. On top of that, Atleti has the home advantage. Moreover, title-hopeful Barca has their Champions League game against Liverpool in the mid-week, and as a result, would be lining up without several starters. Atleti would consider this as an opportunity to cut Barca’s lead at the top.

Going on, Madrid won the last seven h2h games in a row, and three of the last four saw them keep a clean sheet as well. At this venue, Atleti won every single league game bar one against this opponent.

Moreover, Madrid won their last six home-ties in a row, whereas Real was winless in nine of their last ten away ties. Finally, Atleti scored two or more goals in the last seven h2h games, and in seven of the last ten h2h encounters at home.

Expect a usual, win with a clean sheet for the hosts this weekend.
