Spanish football returns with another round of important La Liga matches this weekend as Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid lock horns with Valencia at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday.
Atletico Madrid vs Valencia Preview
Valencia are in ninth place in the La Liga standings and have largely failed to justify their potential in recent months. Los Che held Sevilla to an impressive 1-1 draw in their previous league game and will need to work hard to return to winning ways in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been surprisingly poor this season. Los Colchoneros were stunned by Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey this week and cannot afford a similar debacle in this match.
