Atlético Madrid vs Valencia Preview
Third-placed Valencia will face Atletico Madrid in a crucial encounter on Sunday night. What’s next for the prospective Copa del Rey finalists in La Liga?
Atletico Madrid have the advantage. They know that Los Che will be playing with the Spanish cup tie against Barcelona in their mind. They also know that European football is within their reach. Atletico are 7th in the standings ahead of Matchday 21. Beating Los Che will boost their confidence.
Three of both teams’ last 6 meetings ended in a draw. Valencia have the upper hand in terms of head-to-head following their 1-0 victory at the Mestalla in the first half of La Liga. However, the differences between Atletico Madrid and Valencia are tight.
Valencia vs Real Madrid Report
Like Barcelona, Real Madrid snatched all three points on Saturday night. Los Blancos’ victory, however, happened in more dramatic circumstances.
Karim Benzema continued his progressive form for Real Madrid with a terrific strike in the 20th minute. Diego Alves had absolutely no chance of stopping Benzema’s ball from 15 yards out. The game produced a host of entertaining moments and opportunities for both sides until Sergio Ramos doubled the tally after 72 minutes.Responding to the alert, Valencia pulled a goal back through Roberto Soldado 3 minutes later but Cristiano Ronaldo restored Madrid’s 2-0 advantage. The Portuguese winger punished Los Che’s poor goalkeeping to slot the ball home from a tight angle.
Cristiano Ronaldo confident as Valencia’s Soldado eyes Real Madrid revenge
Third-placed Valencia will test their strength at the Mestalla Stadium with a mouth-watering clash against Real Madrid on Saturday night.
In the most recent Valencia vs Real Madrid fixture, Los Che scored thrice. This achievement, however, meant all but nothing as a Gonzalo Higuain hat-trick and a Kaka double inspired Los Blancos to a 6-3 victory. Looking back at what happened that day, on April 23 precisely, Valencia striker Roberto Soldado feels bitter. The play maker, who will face the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Özil on Saturday, has revenge on his mind.
“Not all the players who were there last year are still here, but the result really hurt and we haven't forgotten about that game yet,” Soldado revealed in an interview with Marca.
Valencia vs Barcelona: A Matter Of Consistency For Both Teams In La Liga
Barcelona’s 8-0 victory over Osasuna at the weekend placed Guardiola’s boys back on track in La Liga, but can they maintain their form against leaders Valencia?
La Liga Table
Valencia currently sit above everyone else with three wins out of three. Nine points, a goal difference of three with six goals scored and three conceded has been good enough to give them a narrow advantage over Real Betis, who share the same amount of points.
Barcelona have scored fifteen goals and conceded only two thus far, yet - as a result of their costly 2-2 draw away to Sociedad on September 10 - they can only afford a place in the fourth position. A win for the hosts at the Mestalla would eventually cause a huge damage to Barca’s season, knowing that arch-rivals Real Madrid could hence regain the edge in the standings - depending on their score line against Racing Santander.
