Valencia CF vs Atlético Madrid - 16/09/2023
3012
On Saturday afternoon, Valencia and Atletico Madrid go head-to-head at the Mestalla in what could prove to be a fascinating La Liga encounter.
Valencia
After winning their opening two La Liga games, Los Che has now suffered two straight league defeats against Osasuna and Alaves.
Ruben Baraja’s team currently sits midtable in the standings and will be looking to end their short losing streak against the visitors.
The back-to-back league defeats mean Valencia has won just two of their previous seven games in the Spanish top flight.
One positive for Valencia of late has been their form at the Mestalla, as Los Che have lost just one of their previous six home games in the Spanish top-flight.
In fact, their 2-1 home defeat by Osasuna in the last league outing on home soil ended a five-game unbeaten home run in La Liga.
Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone’s team continued their unbeatable start to the new La Liga campaign with an extraordinary 7-0 win at Rayo Vallecano in their last league outing.
The victory means that Atletico are now unbeaten in their last seven La Liga games dating back to May.
The biggest reason for Atletico’s stellar recent league form has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in six of their seven unbeaten matches.
Los Colchoneros have a slightly mixed recent away record, as although they are unbeaten in four away games in La Liga, the win at Rayo in their last La Liga game on their travels ended a four-match winless run.
At least Atletico’s recent away matches have been relatively prolific, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four games.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Atletico will continue their recent decent form in La Liga by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
