Valencia have got two semi-final clashes against Barcelona to worry about in the coming weeks, with Diego Simeone’s men having solely a league schedule until the Europa League rolls around. Atletico Madrid should therefore be fresher and able to risk their first-team faces without any consequences in other competitions.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Valencia predictions revolve around the hosts’ form at the Wanda Metropolitano in the Spanish top flight, which makes backing a narrow home win in our La Liga tips very tempting.

Valencia have been struggling to put any consistent form together over the last month, with Marcelino’s side likely to put more focus on their Copa del Rey semi-final tie than this particular game. From the cup, there are more chances of securing a long-awaited trophy for the Mestalla faithful.

Atletico Madrid vs Valencia Prediction and Betting Advice

Valencia have lost three of their last five La Liga games, with Marcelino’s side losing the momentum and untouchable mentality which allowed them to stay in second place above Atletico for a long period during the early stages of the league campaign. Now, that situation has turned on its head a little.

William Hill offer the best odds on Atletico taking the three points, with both teams scoring at the Wanda Metropolitano. Atleti have boasted a great defensive record this season, but both Real Sociedad and Girona have been able to break through their lines in recent weeks and Valencia have plenty of players that are in good goalscoring form. Santi Mina, Rodrigo, and Simone Zaza are all in rich veins of form this season.

Atleti are yet to lose at the Wanda this season, with Simeone’s men knowing that they need three points in this clash to move further to securing second place and ensuring that they keep a healthy gap between themselves and Real Madrid. If Zinedine Zidane’s men win their game in hand, they will be just five points off Los Colchoneros with plenty of the season left to go.

Diego Costa has had a tremendous effect on Atleti’s form since his return from Chelsea over the last few months, with our Atletico Madrid vs Valencia bets reflecting exactly that. Since the Spain international pulled on the club’s strip again in first-team action, he has scored three goals in five appearances, and it could have been more but for a La Liga suspension.

Unibet offer the best odds on the Brazil-born forward to find the back of the net once again this weekend, especially given the fact that Valencia have been very leaky at the back of the net. Gabriel Paulista and Ruben Vezo will be available again after suspension, but there could be some tired legs in Los Che’s backline after Thursday’s cup clash at the Camp Nou versus Barcelona.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Valencia betting tips suggest that Diego Costa will be a huge threat once again, with Valencia sure to have one eye on the Copa del Rey when they choose their side for this clash. It is a very important game, but should Marcelino’s men get a good result at Camp Nou, their attention will be on next week’s second leg at Mestalla.
