Valladolid vs Atletico Madrid betting tips 21 September2013 Primera: "In the last game before this one, Valladolid earned a goalless draw away from home against Elche as the hosts were the ones to make the tempo of the game and had few more chances, but Valladolid players responded well and fairly have taken a point out that game. With this result, team of Juan Ignacio Martinez has completed two consecutive matches without defeat, a draw and a victory, and now standing below the middle of the table."
However, even though they have 1-1-2 record, their attack is showing that they have a problem, being able to score only three goals in first four rounds. However coach Martinez has said that he is not worried about the possible lack of goals, as he got used to it in last two years leading Levante, when he kept winning but without much goals scored. They are awaiting hell of a job tonight as Atletico Madrid seems to be one of the most in-form teams in the league, while the hosts would surely be satisfied with a point too. Home coach is facing up against several problems for this game, as he won’t be able to count at striker Daniel Larsson who is injured, while defensive midfielder Victor Perez and right midfielder Patrick Ebert will hardly be able to get some playing time being slightly injured. Central defender Valiente and defensive midfielder Alvaro Rubio will have to face a late fitness test in order to see if they are ready for the game.Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, is coming from a 3:1 victory over Zenit at the start of the Champions League as they took the victory easier than expected. It was a perfect start into the new Champions League edition, while the team also earned a 4:2 victory last weekend at home over Almeria having one of the best starts in the season overall.
With those two results, team of Diego Simeone confirmed that they are in a great form and will surely want to continue in the same way, as the team now counts four victories out of four matches in Primera, sharing the first position together with Barcelona. Their coach Diego Simeone is expected to make some changes, as he said, due to many scheduled matches they will have to face in next weeks. Striker Diego Costa returns from suspension in Europe and will take the place of David Villa, while behind him, the role of attacking central midfielder will get Raul Garcia instead of Adrian who got injured in a match against Zenit. Finally, central defender Diego Godin might be replaced with Toby Alderweireld as he wasn’t rested till now at all.
