Real Valladolid vs Atletico Madrid: Predictions
One game remains for Atletico Madrid in their quest for the Spanish crown. A win for Diego Simeone’s men and they will lift the trophy – it’s as simple as that. However, they could beat their city rivals to the crown with a draw but that would require Real Madrid to either drop points or win but not better their +41 goal difference.
It is not a dead rubber game as far as the hosts are concerned with their La Liga status relying on this game. Unlike their opposition, their fate does not lie in their own hands as if they are to stay in the Spanish top-flight then they will have to win and rely on the teams around them losing.
Simeone will be frustrated his side has allowed their title push to come down to the final game of the season. April proved a tricky month for Atleti with defeats coming against Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao, as well as a draw against Real Betis.
Real Valladolid vs Atletico Madrid: Match Stats
In the previous four meetings between these two sides, Atletico Madrid have not conceded a single goal. They have won three of those four games by fairly narrow margins, however, they have been proven to live up to the stereotypical Simeone style of football with a solid backline. With so much on the line this weekend for Atletico, we expect Simeone to have his side dialled in defensively.
No player in the whole of the Spanish top-flight has received more yellow cards this season than Stefan Savic. The Montenegrin centre-back has been shown an incredible 15 yellow cards in the 33 games he has played for Simeone’s side.
