Atletico target to finish at 2nd still wide open and Simeone said he will attempts to bringing Atletico Madrid to earn full points for each matches to accomplised that target and for today against Valladolid actually Atletico Madrid had good records and they can able to gets 11 wins from 12 matches against Valladolid i think this is proven Atletico Madrid is too strong for Valladolid and last week Atletico Madrid can able return to winning ways after beat Mallorca and today too i think 3 points will belongs to them
Valladolid squad conditions is more good than Atletico this because there were no injured lists today and all of the players will be available to played but Atletico Madrid conditions a bit not good because their goalkeeper Jan Oblak still not recovering from the injury and Memphis Depay still had a problem with his thigh however although some of players got injured i think Atletico still too strong for Valladolid and i am sure Atletico will be the winner of this match considering they have good balance to defense and attack and the odds for Atletico Madrid win is quite decent @1.66
It seems, it will be very difficult for Atletico to finish in 2nd place. because, Madrid will not allow their position to be taken over by the team that is below it. after all, at this time Madrid and Atletico are 5 points apart. so, Atletico must try hard to finish in 2nd place. and hope, Madrid slipped in some of his matches. well, in this match Atletico had the opportunity to reduce the difference in points from Madrid.
In the next few hours, Diego Simeone's squad will have an away game against Valladolid. even though playing away games, Atletico have a high probability of winning full points. Unfortunately, there are several Atletico players who have been injured. most likely, the main goalkeeper will be absent in this match. plus, several defensive line players were also absent due to injury. fortunately, the home team is not a formidable opponent. so, there should be no problem for Diego Simeone's team to win the game. after all, Griezmann and Angel Correa can be counted on up front. although, it is doubtful that Depay can be played.
On the other hand, Valladolid has no problems with its players. however, it is not an easy matter to get full points even though playing at your own headquarters. Even so, like it or not, Valladolid had to go all out so as not to lose points. at least if it is difficult to win the match against Atletico, Valladolid is aiming for a draw. especially if we refer to the predicted formation of the home team with the 4-3-1-2 pattern. that means, they will play more defensively. by by the way, my estimate is that Atletico will win the match with a final score of 2-1.
