Valladolid – Atletico Madrid, Prediction – La Liga

⚽ Valladolid must win, otherwise, he gets relegated

Valladolid seems rather helpless in the battle for survival. Real is practically only with 1 victory in the last 20 games of the league and it is a miracle that there are chances to stay in the Primera. The team’s path goes through success against Atletico and failure of Huesca and Elche in their matches because both teams have 2 points more. Valladolid, however, shows no signs of revival and easily loses their matches even against teams that have a weak season and do not fight for anything like Valencia three rounds ago.

🏆 For Atletico, too, victory is no alternative in the title battle

Atletico showed no weakness at the end of the match with Osasuna and made a complete turnaround in 10 minutes thanks again to Suarez, who decided the match with a goal, but mostly with the great character of the whole team. Thus, after so many successes and failures, strong and weak form, security and insecurity, we came to the point where Atletico after a lot of drama and effort is only 1 victory away from becoming champion of Spain again after 7 years and actually for the 2nd time in last 24.

The collision will be huge, tense, and probably equal

 Expert view: At the paper, Atletico should win the match easily, because Valladolid looks desperate. In practice, however, we have seen that the tension at such times is enormous and it cannot be ignored as a major factor. We think that Atletico can win, but it will be quite difficult, as happened with Osasuna and they had to wait literally for the end of the match. Besides, no matter how weak, Valladolid has not lost many games at home with more than 1 goal difference in the league, and Atletico has only 1 win with more than 1 goal difference as a guest in the last 9 matches in the league, so we expect a difficult match for both teams. Although with a high probability of victory for the guests, it will rather be tortured and minimal. Our forecast is Valladolid +1.5 Asian Handicap at 1.80.
