Real Valladolid

LDLLLL 📉

Since being beaten in their last game against Getafe in La Liga competition, Real Valladolid and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Real Valladolid managed 50% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target. At the other end, Getafe got 16 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. Mauro Arambarri (1'), Ramón Terrats (19', 38') and Domingos Duarte (80') scored for Getafe.

Illustrating their involvement in action-packed matches, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the previous 6 matches in which Real Valladolid have played, yielding an average of 3.5 goals per fixture. Opposing teams have hit 17 of this grand total. Putting that to one side, time will tell if that pattern might persist here in this match or not.

Their previous form shows that Real Valladolid:

• are winless against Atlético Madrid when having played them away from home in the previous 7 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• have not won away from home in their last 10 matches in the league. Very poor, indeed.

📰 Team News: Atlético Madrid

It seems likely that Atleti may well opt for a 4-4-2 formation for this game, utilising Jan Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Jose Gimenez, Clement Lenglet, Javi Galan, Giuliano Simeone, Koke, Pablo Barrios, Conor Gallagher, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.

🗞️ Team News: Real Valladolid

In an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Real Valladolid manager Álvaro Rubio to be concerned with. Karl Hein (Shoulder injury) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Pucela seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Andre Ferreira, Antonio Candela, Javi Sanchez, Joseph Aidoo, Henrique Silva, Stanko Juric, Florian Grillitsch, Darwin Machis, Anuar, Chuki and Mamadou Sylla.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Real Valladolid are capable enough to find the back of the net against this Atlético Madrid outfit, but it might not quite be enough to avoid defeat.

We can see both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Atlético Madrid after 90 minutes. Looking forward to this.
