Atletico Madrid, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 away win against Granada in their latest league match, Atletico Madrid will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They came away from that fixture with 47% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Granada managed 17 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 21 games in a row, but they have conceded a goal in 8 of their 10 games at Cívitas Metropolitano this season.
They have not lost at home for an impressive 21 games in a row.
Álvaro Morata will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 6 goals in the last 6 league outings for Atletico Madrid.
Valencia, Recent FormValencia will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Athletic Bilbao. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Athletic Bilbao's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Rubén Baraja will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 10 of their 11 games this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
The Valencia travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Hugo Duro, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
After a good 3-0 win for Valencia in this pair's last league encounter, Atletico Madrid will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Atletico have scored in each of their last 11 games at home in the league against Los Che. In their last 3 away league games against Los Colchoneros, Valencia have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Valencia have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Atletico in the league and have failed to win any of their last 12 encounters at Cívitas Metropolitano.
Atletico player Antoine Griezmann will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Valencia, having scored 4 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. César Azpilicueta (Meniscus), Thomas Lemar (Achilles tendon), Marcos Paulo (Cruciate ligament) and Víctor Vitolo (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Valencia manager Rubén Baraja ahead of this clash, with André Almeida (Back) missing out, which gives Baraja a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
