Match Preview: Atletico Madrid vs Valencia - Expert Analysis

Atletico Madrid look to continue their unbeaten start to the season as they take on Valencia in what is sure to be an intriguing Spanish La Liga fixture.

Atletico Madrid vs Valencia Standings

Atletico Madrid as it stands sit 4th place in the league on 8 points - level with Real Madrid above them and Villarreal below. An unbeaten start to the season has seen them claim 2 wins and 2 draws conceding the joint fewest goals in the league (2) along the way.

Valencia on the other hand have greatly struggled so far this season sitting bottom of the La Liga table. Picking up just 1 point from the opening 4 games they are yet to claim victory. Can they change that in this game?

This matchup is set to be the 67th between these two teams.

It is Atletico Madrid that hold the advantage having won 26 of those games but Valencia aren’t far behind with 21 wins to their names. There have also been 19 draws in that time.

Interestingly Valencia haven’t beaten Atletico Madrid in Madrid since the 2010/11 season. Something they will be keen to change here.
