Team News

Atletico
Valencia
  • Pablo Barrios managed 80 minutes against Granada in Monday evening to boost Diego Simeone's options.
  • Saul Niguez in the middle of the park should Simeone opt to rest Marcos Llorente.
  • Sergi Canos had to come off in Valencia's victory over Athletic Club and will likely sit this one out through injury.
  • Roman Yaremchuk replaced Canos and could feature again this weekend, but likely from the bench.
  • Dimitri Foulquier seems to have solidified his place in the side and will compete with Thierry Correa for a spot at right-back.

Prediction

  • Despite Atletico taking on Sevilla on Thursday night in the cup, expect fireworks in this fixture. There hasn't been a draw in this matchup since 2021.
  • Valencia arguably recorded their most impressive victory of the season in the reverse fixture - despite beating Athletic Club last week - when they put three past Diego Simeone's men and kept a clean sheet.
  • A victory for Valencia could take them into the Conference League place, overtaking Sociedad and continuing to defy expectations since their terrible league finish last season. Ruben Baraja is on for his second manager of the month award if this form continues.
  • Atleti are unbeaten at home this season, though, and they are the more likely victors in this one.
