📰 Team News: Atlético Madrid

The Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone does not have any fitness worries at all before this game thanks to a completely healthy group ready to go.

In our view, Atleti will probably use the 4-4-2 formation, utilising Jan Oblak, Nahuel Molina, Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez, Mario Hermoso, Marcos Llorente, Koke, Rodrigo De Paul, Yannick Carrasco, Memphis Depay and Antoine Griezmann.

ℹ️ Team News: Valencia

Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is just the lone fitness issue for the Valencia gaffer Rubén Baraja to contend with. Edinson Cavani (Muscle Injury) won’t be in action. Jaume Doménech is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We’re of the thinking that Los Che seem likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, choosing Giorgi Mamardashvili, Dimitri Foulquier, Eray Coemert, Cenk Ozkacar, Jose Gaya, Thierry Correia, Nico Gonzalez, Hugo Guillamon, Yunus Musah, Hugo Duro and Justin Kluivert.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Atlético Madrid are likely to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the same time, Valencia might well find it a difficult task to score although we do see them scoring as well.

We’re tipping a comfortable 3-1 margin for Atlético Madrid come full-time.
