Valencia desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 13 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Atletico Madrid come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Valencia travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Atletico Madrid here — they've won 8 of 10 previous meetings against Valencia, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Valencia won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Atletico Madrid look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Valencia will make it uncomfortable. Atletico Madrid to win.
