Atletico Madrid are a win away from winning the La Liga title and they go to their final game of the season with just that in mind. They will be traveling to Valladolid for this game, against Real Valladolid with both sides eyeing three points. Hosts Valladolid are placed 19th with 31 points and Atletico are top with 83 points. The home team is two points away from safety and this is the game that will determine the fate. They have three straight losses, and have no win in the last 11 league matches but a win here could pull them out of the rut. Their survival depends on Elche and Huesca losing their games on the weekend. Valladolid have conceded two or more in four of their last five matches and they’ve failed to score in two of their last eight in the league. At home, they are winless in the last five matches and they’ve managed just three in their 18 matches there this season.

Atletico Madrid are on the verge of winning a second La Liga title under Diego Simeone and they’ve been fortunate to still be at the top of the table going to the final game. There’s a point Barcelona and Real Madrid posted results favoring Atletico when wins would have displaced Simeone’s side, and here they are. They need the three points as much as Valladolid and go to this game unbeaten in four matches. Atletico had to come from down to register a 2-1 win over Osasuna when it looked like the visitors would sneak out with a win. Luis Suarez scored the decider in that game, in the 88th minute, six minutes after they had the equalizer. They have one loss and five wins in the last eight league matches and five of the last seven games have produced clean sheets for Atletico. It is away from home that Atletico have had a rough time, winning once in the last six, and they will be keen as they go to this clash.
