Valladolid vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Real Valladolid have lost five of their last ten games
• Atletico Madrid are on a run of seven wins in eight outings
• Four of Atleti’s last six matches have contained at least three goals

Valladolid still in trouble?

With just four points separating Real Valladolid and the relegation zone, there is a feeling that they are still in trouble, especially after losing to Valencia in midweek.

That was a fifth loss in ten games for ‘Pucelle’, although also a first under new boss Paulo Pezzolano, who took charge at the start of April.

The defence is a major concern for the Uruguayan, whose side have kept just one clean sheet in ten attempts, with eight of those games containing at least ten goals.

Atleti still flying high

Atletico Madrid’s form on the other hand is at the other end of the scale, as they have registered seven wins from their last eight league games to move within touching distance of second place.

Diego Simeone’s side beat Mallorca 3-1 last time out, which was the fifth time in eight outings they have scored two or more, including a 6-1 demolition of Sevilla.

They will also be confident of registering another success against a club whom they have beaten 12 times in the last 13 attempts, with eight of those wins containing at least three goals.

I predict that Atletico Madrid will win this game with three or more goals in the match, selecting 3-1 as a correct score prediction.
