Struggling Valencia heads to the Estadio Vicente Calderon for a clash with Atletico Madrid in the week 26 of Spanish La Liga campaign on this March 5.
Atletico continued their good form on Friday morning as they drew 1-1 against Deportivo La- Coruna in their previous game. This Sunday they prepared well for upcoming Spanish La Liga competition against struggling Valencia, and hoping to win this round.
The Calchoneros have registered 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five games in all competitions. They have scored 14 goals and conceded 8 goals in the last six games in all competitions. They are currently at 4th in the league table standings with 46 points from 25 games played this season.
Atletico manger Diego Simeone needs to rotate his formation in this round. He hoped to do similar formation as they won 2-4 over Bayer Leverkusen in the last Champions League. Fernando Torres, Antoine Griezmann and Kevin Gameiro are expected to start the XI when they face the Bats.
Valencia on the other hand, they are coming into this game from a 1-0 win against Leganes on last March 1 at their home ground. They are also hoping to continue their winning in this round.
The Bats have registered 3 wins, 1 win, and 1 loss in their last five games. They have scored 6 goals and conceded 7 goals in the last six games and they are currently at 13th in the league table standings with 29 points from 25 games played this season.
Valencia have been in a superb form in recent weeks, but this Sunday night will be a tough game for Voro’s side against Diego Simeone’ side. However, they will enter this game highly motivated, and seeks more chances to scoring at least with a draw game.
Voro has no reason to rotate his men. He hoped to do similar formation as they won a 1-0 over Leganes in their previous game. A win this game could see them avoid far away from the drop zone.
Atletico Madrid are strongest favorites to win this one. (Source:www.marca.com)
