Atlético Madrid take on Valencia in weekend clash.
As Atlético de Madrid host Valencia CF at the Cívitas Metropolitano, fans eagerly anticipate whether the in-form Mattress Makers can extend their unbeaten streak against the struggling Bats, who are desperate for a turnaround after the international break.
Atlético Madrid
Atlético secured their first away win of the 2024-2025 La Liga season with a thrilling last-gasp 1-0 victory over Athletic Club just before the international break. An error from the Athletic defense presented substitute Alexander Sørloth with the perfect opportunity to set fellow substitute Ángel Correa [90+2’] through on goal.
The Argentine, introduced only minutes earlier, made no mistake as he rounded the goalkeeper to slot the ball into an open net, ending the match dramatically. “Today we played the game we wanted to play, strong at the back, and those who came off the bench were key, like Sørloth, who made a great recovery to set up Correa's goal,” reflected Simeone after the game.
With the win, Atlético moved up to third place, tied on points with Real Madrid, although they trail on goal difference. Returning from a two-week hiatus, the Mattress Makers aim to secure back-to-back victories for the first time this season.
The hosts boast an unbeaten run in their last 13 league games against Valencia, with nine wins and four draws. They have also maintained clean sheets in their last three La Liga matches and could go four league games without conceding for the first time since December 2020.
New signing Conor Gallagher earned his first start for the club in the last match and is expected to feature in the starting line-up as Simeone employs his usual 3-4-2-1 formation. Sørloth might earn a spot in attack following his impactful substitute appearance against Athletic.
Valencia
Valencia earned their first point of the campaign after settling for a 1-1 draw against Villareal last time out. The Bats took the lead six minutes from the half-hour mark via Hugo Duro but were pegged back just before halftime.
Despite having the numerical advantage with twenty-two minutes left to play, Rubén Baraja’s men failed to find a second goal. "What we saw today should give us hope," Baraja said.
Condemned to the bottom of the table with just one point, Valencia will now make the trip to ATL, hoping their return from the international break will bring a change in fortunes. However, the visitors have lost four of their last five league games against the hosts.
A 4—4—2 formation could be seen this weekend, with Dani Gómez and Sergi Canos in attack. Meanwhile, Rafa Mir is sidelined due to suspension.
