Atletico Madrid – Valencia Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (05.03.2017)

Prediction for Atletico Madrid – Valencia

Double Chance: X2 (Valencia or Draw) @ 3.00

I throw it prematurely at the expense of confirming casualties of both sides and at the expense of what the AT does. Madrid on Thursday in Riazor.

Atletico Madrid

In the Atletico the casualties of Juanfran and Tiago already known. The technically superior Atletico midfield is already wearing a bit tired I do not see Gabi, Koke and Saul as cool as at the beginning of the season and yet the sensations are quite different from the Mestalla box. Orellana has given that plus to the team che, which was lacking in the first round, Enzo and Parejo are at a very good level and is giving a lot of solidity in the last games to the VCF, what was expected of them since the beginning of the season Soler has been erected with a lot of personality as a good alternative to Parejo and Enzo when they are tired or a help when in the field.

The pair Garay-Mangala is at a high level also and whenever they have both played Valencia has reaped more positive results than when they have not. The solidity of both is being one of the keys that the VCF has come back the flight.

Simone Zaza is also a great plus of quality and a spur to the defenses, and is becoming the reference that Valencia needed, not only with goals but with struggle and sacrifice something that is certainly enjoying in Mestalla. I anticipate an intense duel against the rojiblanca behind especially against Godin. It has already been seen that Zaza has the day often seize his opportunities, and is a plus for this Valencia.

Valencia

The VCF arrives at Calderon with a lot to win and little to lose in one season (despite the last victories) bad basstante.

Voro has already said, the objective of this team is to continue competing even though the ghosts of the descent are dissipated. 3 wins at Mestalla a draw at the Villamarin and a defeat at Mendizorroza have consolidated the VCF in that no-man’s land of Half the Table.

The Atletico by its counter is already a long season and the objective of fighting Liga has vanished clearly in comparison with previous seasons. Players are aware that they have to focus their efforts in the Champions League and maintain fourth place in the league. March can be a difficult month for the Atletico that begins its walk in Riazor before a Depor that will go with the knife between the teeth and arrive at the match of Sunday with 2 days less of rest than the Valencia for the party of the Sunday.

Valencia hope to recover for the meeting to Santi Mina, who was being the best since the victory against Espanyol and Montoya that was setting good matches. Also Orellana who was being key in Attack and that the last match by Sancion has been lost.

Atletico Madrid – Valencia – head to head

The H2H does not detract from Valencia. In his last 10 visits he has won 1 victory and 4 draws. The last visit of Valencia ended in defeat by the minimum and hopefully there will be more luck this time.

I trust in the good moment of Valencia and that the Atleti comes more tired to this duel. That the battle in the center of the field is balanced and that the Valencia in this type of parties is usually motivated. I think the plus that Zaza and Orellana give is going to be key in attack and can put in trouble an Atletico who is favorite, but it should not be as much coming as Valencia comes. A fee 3 is worth trying.
