Atlético Madrid vs Real Valladolid Preview and Team News

Atlético Madrid Team News

Atlético Madrid’s season collapsed in the space of two months, with the team having nothing left to fight for. This is why club directors have already turned to the transfer market. 

Espanyol star Javi Puado was mentioned as a potential target for this Summer. The player’s contract with the club expires on June 30th, making him a possible free transfer.

Atlético defeated Sevilla 2-1 despite conceding in the 7th minute through Agoumé, as Julián Álvarez equalized with a converted penalty in the first half. While one would expect this to lead to Diego Simeone’s men dominating, it was the opposition who were proactive in the second part of the second half, activating the game through their wings. 

Even in the second half, Simeone’s team were not convincing. It wasn’t until additional time that Atlético claimed the victory through a late equalizer from Pablo Barrios.

Ángel Correa is suspended. Rodrigo de Paul and Samuel Lino will be sidelined due to injuries.

Real Valladolid Team News

Since they occupy the last spot in La Liga, not only are Real Valladolid certain of relegation, but the team was crushed by Getafe, whose philosophy is far from an attacking one. They were 3-0 down early on, a testament to their mediocrity, the fourth defeat in a row. To make matters worse, Mario Martín was sent off shortly before half-time.

The fans’ discontentment with the management is loud and clear: “Ronaldo Go Home” has become the slogan of fans requesting the resignation of the club president.

On the pitch, the tension is also palpable. During the 4-0 defeat to Getafe, Real Valladolid players Luis Pérez and Juanmi Latasa were seen arguing loudly, with Pérez attempting to punch Latasa at the end of a heated discussion. Shortly after the match, both players apologized publicly for their behaviour.

Kenedy, Karl Hein, and Florian Grillitsch will be out with injuries. Mario Martin is suspended.

Atlético Madrid vs Real Valladolid Prediction

• Prediction: Atlético Madrid to win
• Odds: 1.11 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Atlético Madrid 5-0 Real Valladolid

In times of despair, Diego Simeone could not ask for a better match. The team’s morale has only worsened since Rodrigo de Paul’s injury. He was essential to Simeone’s machine. 

However, the Valladolid meeting allows for rotations and a much-needed confidence boost. As if this were not enough, the home advantage at the Metropolitano is likely to end in a thrashing from the hosts.

Atlético Madrid vs Real Valladolid Betting Tip

• Pick: Julian Álvarez to score at least two goals
• Odds: TBC (22Bet)

While Griezmann’s fitness level has declined over the last two months, Julián Alvarez has established himself as the de facto leader, worthy of succeeding to ‘The Prince’. 

With Valladolid struggling to defend on a weekly basis, this is the perfect opportunity for him to cement his legacy as ‘The Spider’. Álvarez has acted as a leader in difficult times, but the Metropolitano has not seen many braces/hat-tricks from the Argentine. Monday provides the chance to change that.
