Prediction published on 12/12/2018, 12:21  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 12/12/2018 at 13:21 in LaLiga Predictions

Atletico Madrid have drawn their last four away league games and need to get back in winning ways if they want to win La Liga this season. They start the weekend in third position only three points behind leaders Barcelona. They have only lost one league game this season but the draw count is up to seven now and just two of those converted into wins would have them sitting at the top of the table. Atletico are unbeaten in their last 12 league and cup games but their away games aren't seeing the goals flow. Just the six scored and the same number conceded and every away league game this season has had under 2.5 goals scored.

Real Valladolid are 12th in the table but only two points adrift of the Europa League places and six off the Champions League positions. A few wins would change their season but some losses could see them in relegation trouble as they are only six points above the relegation zone. They won 2-1 at Real Sociedad last weekend and that ended a run of five league games without a win. Home form has seen just two wins out of seven and only 14 goals have been scored with just six by the home team. The suggested bet here is on under 2.5 goals being scored.
