Valencia vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Picks - LaLiga

 by Bradley Gibbs | in LaLiga Picks

On Saturday, during the late morning/early afternoon depending on where you are in the US, there's an intriguing game taking place at the iconic soccer venue of Mestalla, where Valencia and Atletico Madrid will clash for the second time this season. Can the hosts get revenge for that heavy defeat in the reverse fixture? 

For a long time this season, the men from Mestalla were struggling, though since the turn of the year, they've improved, picking up wins on a more regular basis, pushing themselves off the foot of the LaLiga table. That said, they remain in trouble as they sit in 18th. The rest of the campaign is now merely about retaining their status as a LaLiga club, and as they're only goal difference away from safety, they have every chance of doing that. 

For Atletico, it's been a very different campaign, one that is all about success, and just as Saturday's hosts have every chance of staying in the division, the visitors have every chance of being crowned champions. Diego Simeone's men are just one point off the league leaders, and as they will view this as a winnable game, they may even be top come the end of the weekend.

Valencia - Atletico Madrid Key Points

  1. Jose Luis Garcia, otherwise known as Pepelu, has been booked more times than any other Valencia player this season.
  2. Pepulu has been booked no less than eight times during the current LaLiga season.
  3. Pepelu currently averages 0.54 cards per 90 minutes in LaLiga this term.
  4. Pepelu has a habit of getting booked in big games, receiving a card against Barcelona (x2) and Villarreal (x2).

Our Valencia vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Let's face it, Valencia's Pepelu, who is an important player for the hosts, just cannot resist getting on the wrong side of referees, and I'm really not sure that the early market has factored this in enough. Odds of +360 look rather generous for a player averaging 0.54 cards per 90 minutes. He's picked up cards in big games with regularity, while he's also made multiple fouls with regularity in big games, so don't be surprised if the Spaniard gets his name taken against an Atleti side known for frustrating opposition players. Our Valencia vs Atletico Madrid Pick: Jose Luis Garcia "Pepelu" to Get a Card.
