Atlético Madrid vs Real Valladolid Prediction 21 January 2023

Another match of the eighteenth round of La Liga between Atlético and Valladolid is scheduled for next Saturday.

Fourth place, 28 points and a goal difference of 24-6 are very modest figures for Atlético, who are only two points clear of ninth-placed Rayo Vallecano. It should be noted that in the recent past Los Colchoneros looked extremely unconvincing against the backdrop of Espanyol (1-1), Mallorca (0-1), Elche (2-0), Barcelona (0-1) and Almeria (1-1).

And Valladolid, after a 2-1 triumph over hopeless Elche, allowed four consecutive defeats from Athletic (0-3), Real Madrid (0-2), Mallorca (0-1) and Rayo Vallecano (0-1). Given the high density in the standings, it's no surprise that the Purples fell to seventeenth position with 17 points and a 13-25 goal stat.

Both teams are not in the best shape now, but the level of Atlético is still much higher. We think that with the active support of the home crowd, Los Colchoneros will win such a usual victory in class.
