Valencia 0-3 Atlético de Madrid

Current streaks

Recent form

Valencia

Valencia's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The most striking aspect of their recent performances has been the high-scoring affairs against Barcelona, where they suffered heavy defeats in both La Liga (7-1) and the Copa del Rey (5-0). Despite these setbacks, Valencia have shown resilience, managing to secure clean sheets in two of their last three league matches. Their goal difference of -7 over the last six games is heavily skewed by the Barcelona thrashings, as they've only conceded two goals in their other four matches. Interestingly, Valencia's matches have been evenly split between high-scoring (over 2.5 goals) and low-scoring (under 2.5 goals) affairs, with both teams scoring in half of their recent games. Despite their current 18th position in the league, Valencia have shown signs of improvement in their league form, winning two of their last three La Liga matches.

Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with three wins and three draws. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, netting 14 goals in this period for an average of 2.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding only 0.67 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. The standout performances include a 5-0 thrashing of Getafe in the Copa del Rey and a 4-1 away victory against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League, both demonstrating Atlético's ability to score freely. Their current seven-game unbeaten streak across all competitions underscores their consistency, although the three consecutive draws in their most recent La Liga matches suggest they may be struggling to convert dominance into victories in the league. Despite this, Atlético's third-place position in La Liga, coupled with their strong goal difference, indicates they are well-positioned to compete for top honours this season.

Recent home/away form

Valencia

Valencia have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at the Mestalla. Despite their low league position, they've managed to secure victories in their last two La Liga home games, suggesting a potential upturn in form. However, their home form has been marred by a heavy 5-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Valencia have been involved in several goal-rich encounters, with 67% of their recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Defensively, they've struggled, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, although they've managed two clean sheets in this period. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring 1.33 goals per game, but they've shown resilience by winning three of their last four home league matches.

Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid have shown impressive form away from home, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six away fixtures. The team have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 times at an average of 2 goals per game, whilst maintaining a solid defence, conceding just 0.67 goals per match. Their away performances have included two high-scoring victories, thrashing Red Bull Salzburg 4-1 in the Champions League and Elche 4-0 in the Copa del Rey. Notably, Atlético enjoyed a run of four consecutive away wins before their recent draw against local rivals Real Madrid. Their only blemish in this period was a narrow 1-0 loss to Leganés in La Liga, which interrupted their winning streak. The team's ability to keep clean sheets in two of these six matches, coupled with their positive goal difference of 8, underscores their strong defensive capabilities on the road.
