Atletico Madrid Preview: Giving themselves a chance

Atletico Madrid endured something of a mini collapse through March and early April with elimination from the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey to Barcelona and the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in controversial circumstances to Real Madrid.

They also suffered back-to-back defeats and a draw in La Liga but both Barcelona and Madrid dropping points last weekend may well have given Atleti a chance of a title charge once again, scoring a second-half stoppage-time winner to defeat Sevilla last weekend.

Real Valladolid Preview: An awful season

Real Valladolid have endured a miserable campaign both on and off the pitch, following their promotion to the top-flight last season, with Ronaldo looking to sell the club but then reportedly ignoring offers as he focused on his now failed Brazilian FA presidential campaign.

The visitors begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting 14 points adrift of safety with eight games of the campaign to go. Their most recent outing saw them suffer a humiliating 4-0 annihilation at the hands of Getafe at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla last weekend.

Atletico Madrid Team News: Couple of doubts

Atletico Madrid are dealing with a couple of injury concerns ahead of the visit of rock-bottom Valladolid as Samuel Lino is a doubt for this one alongside Argentina international midfielder Rodrigo De Paul.

Predicted XI (4-4-2): Oblak; Nahuel Molina, Le Normand, Lenglet, Cesar Azpilicueta; Giuliano Simeone, Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios, Gallagher; Griezmann, Julian Alvarez

Unavailable: 

Questionable: Samuel Lino (Injured), De Paul (Injured)

Real Valladolid Team News: Mario Martin suspended

Real Valladolid are dealing with a couple of absentees ahead of the trip to the Metropolitano this weekend with Estonia international goalkeeper Karl Hein still sidelined alongside midfielder Mario Martin, who is now missing through suspension.

Predicted XI (4-4-2): Ferreira; Candela, Cumart, Ozkacar, Aznou; Ivan Sanchez, Nikitscher, Amallah, Raul Moro; Sylla, Juanmi Latasa

Unavailable: Hein (Injured), Mario Martin (Suspended)

Atletico Madrid vs Real Valladolid Prediction

The game that could well have saved Atletico’s season at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan saw them go 1-0 down via Lucien Agoume after seven minutes before an equalising penalty scored by Julian Alvarez and then a last-gasp Pablo Barrios winner against Sevilla. They have been better to watch this season and have even played well in their aforementioned mini collapse. They now welcome a genuinely woeful Valladolid side to the capital city this week and a comfortable Atleti victory is to be expected at the Metropolitano.
