Real Valladolid will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 2-0 La Liga defeat in their last game at the hands of Getafe.

In that game, Real Valladolid had 44% possession and 6 shots on goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Getafe got 12 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Álvaro Rodríguez (70') and Allan-Roméo Nyom (73') scored for Getafe.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Real Valladolid have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Real Valladolid have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 9 goals on the way. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however.

Looking at their past form shows that Real Valladolid:

• have not won against Atlético Madrid in their previous 14 league matches. What a terrible run without a win that has been.
• are without a win at home for the past 6 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.

We think that Pucela will probably opt for a 3-2-4-1 formation with Karl Hein, Javi Sanchez, Eray Coemert, Cenk Ozkacar, Luis Perez, Lucas Rosa, Raul Moro, Stanko Juric, Kike Perez, Anuar and Mamadou Sylla.

ℹ️ Team News: Atlético Madrid

We’re of the thinking that Atleti might make use of a 4-4-2 formation, going with Jan Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Jose Gimenez, Clement Lenglet, Javi Galan, Giuliano Simeone, Rodrigo De Paul, Koke, Pablo Barrios, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.

In our view, Real Valladolid are certainly able to put one past this Atlético Madrid lineup, although just one goal might not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re going for a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for Atlético Madrid at the end of the match. Should be an interesting one.
