Atlético Madrid - Valencia betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.65 is a solid option. That said, Valencia may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of Atlético Madrid and the 6.50 odds given to Valencia to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

The deciding goal in Atletico Madrid’s recent victory at Girona came after a protracted stalemate, but it still secured the victory. The 0:1 outcome was quite predictable if La Liga betting odds are to be believed – the bookies saw an away win as the most likely outcome, though not overwhelmingly so.

Valencia’s previous La Liga match ended in victory, though it was a close one. Top online bookmakers considered them to have the upper hand against Osasuna going in. While the first half was inconclusive, they bagged a 1:0 home win.

With 8 goals in their previous 3 La Liga matches, Los Rojiblancos’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

If there’s any consistency to be found in the recent match history of Valencia, it’s that the games tend to be rather uneventful. The latest two ended up with fewer than 2 goals on the score board.

If they keep their current spot number 3rd, we’ll be seeing Atletico in the next Champions League. That said, the league title is well within reach as well.

Desperation must be setting in over at the Valencia camp as we move into round 26. At 17th place, they are at risk of being relegated. Even worse, their odds of earning points against the current opposition are quite low.

The last time these two teams met Atletico Madrid managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Valencia will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Toni Lato, Gabriel Paulista, Marcos de Sousa, Edinson Cavani will all be unable to perform.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 4.40. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
