Valencia vs Atletico Madrid prediction 22.02.2025 | La Liga

• Competition: Saturday, 22nd February 2025
• Date: Saturday, 22nd February 2025
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 UK
• Venue: Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia)

It is hard to imagine La Liga without Valencia. This year, it seemed that they hit the bottom and could be relegated, but after a recent good run, Valencia are only one position below the safety. Only two defeats in the last nine matches in all competitions and much better form than the teams close to them in the standings give the club hope that the team from Estadio de Mestalla will avoid relegation. Last weekend, Carlos Corberan's team played only 1-1 on the road against Villarreal. The home side was the favorite to win, but the guests were even in most of the game and deserved one point. 

La Liga's title run could be the most interesting of all top leagues. Barcelona and Real Madrid share the top positions with 51 points, while Atletico Madrid have one point fewer. Atletico Madrid's recent form was very good, with seven games without defeat. Last weekend, Atletico Madrid played only 1-1 at home against Celta Vigo, but in that match, Diego Simeone's team played with ten players since the seventh minute, so the home side can be satisfied with taking one point. 

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid pick: Both teams to score - yes

Valencia scored at least one goal in 11 of the last 12 matches. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid scored at least one goal in each of the previous seven games. We should expect goals on both sides on Saturday night in Valencia.
