Fifth placed Atletico Madrid will be at home at the Vicente Calderon Stadium to take on Valencia in the 26th round of matches in La Liga on Sunday 5th March. Atletico, who are 11 points behind league leaders Barcelona, will be hoping to close the gap after a patchy campaign but meet a Valencia side that has lately been on the rise. Heading to the game, Atletico have managed three wins in their last five matches, the other two being a loss and a draw. They have picked two losses and three wins at home in the last five. Atletico’s last five home games have yielded 10 goals while the club has conceded six. Valencia, on the other hand, hope to continue with the positive results, they have been picking lately. They have three wins in the last five matches but will really want to improve on their away record, having won just once in the last five away matches. Their goal scoring form away from home has also not been the best, with just five goals to show and seven conceded. Atletico has dominated this tie over the years, limiting Valencia to just one win in the last ten meetings, and that came in 2014. The teams have met 51 times in history and Valencia leads on head to head with 20 wins against Atletico’s 17. In the game, Atletico will miss Juanfran, Tiago and Augusto Fernandez while Valencia will be without Rodrigo Moreno and Santi Mina.
