Atletico Madrid vs Valencia Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | LaLiga 2024

The fifth gameweek of the Spanish top flight is set to be underway

Atletico Madrid will take on Valencia at home in their fifth match of the ongoing LaLiga season on Monday as they look to move up the points table to the second position. Los Colchoneros are unbeaten this season with two wins and two draws, and they are third on the points table. 

Valencia, on the other hand, are yet to win a single match this season and are placed at the very bottom of the points table. The two teams have thus had a very contrasting season so far and Valencia will definitely try to change that as they meet at the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano on Monday. 

Kickoff: 

Monday, 16th September, 2024 at 12:30 AM IST

Location: Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano

Form: 

Atletico Madrid – W D W D W 

Valencia – D L L L W 

Players to Watch: 

Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)

Antoine Griezmann, Atletico’s top scorer from last season, has started the 2024-25 season with a similar form. The Frenchman who scored 16 goals in 33 appearances last season, has already scored one goal this season and is just getting started. Griezmann will definitely be the player to look out for in Atletico Madrid’s playing XI in the next match.

Diego Lopez (Valencia)

With Valencia’s main striker Hugo Duro out injured, there will be added pressure on their left winger, Diego Lopez. The 22-year-old has already scored a goal this season in the match against Celta Vigo that his side ended up losing. The Spaniard scored four goals in 39-matches last season and is an integral part of Valencia’s playing XI. 

Match Facts: 

1. Atletico Madrid are one of the five teams in La Liga who are yet to lose a match this season. 
2. A big victory against Valencia might take Atletico Madrid to the second place on the points table, replacing Real Madrid. 
3. Valencia will be without their main striker Hugo Duro in the match against Atletico Madrid
