Team News

Atletico Madrid
  • Atlético beat Osasuna 1-0 away from home last time out. The ‘Colchoneros’ put in another good defensive performance.
  • Simeone will get his trio of midfielders back as Tiago, Gabi and Diego all served their one-game suspensions last time out.
  • Osasuna have been unlucky with injuries this season, and still have five players missing, though Roversio and Ibrahima are close to returning.
Valencia
  • Valencia drew 1-1 against Barcelona in the cup. The ‘ches’ played a well but perhaps lacked the ambition to win the game.
  • Skipper Albelda should be back after serving his one-game suspension last time out.
  • However, Emery will be without Ricardo Costa after picking up a red card against Racing.
  • Feghouli will also miss this match after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season.

Prediction

  • Atlético have been great under Simeone and they could make a real statement by beating Valencia in this match.
  • Valencia may suffer from fatigue after their cup match and they face a really tough challenge against Altético at the Calderón.
  • The only thing missing for Simeone’s side is beating a big team like Valencia. They should do exactly that here.
  • PREDICTION: Atlético win 2-0.
