Atletico Madrid and Valencia will meet each other in the La Liga matchday 20 on Sunday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CET.

Preview

With both Barcelona and Real Madrid struggling with consistency this season so far, Atletico are now considered favourites to claim the La Liga title in the 2020/21 campaign. Diego Simeone's men have been absolutely phenomenal this term and continue to lead the table with 44 points taken from 17 games. Real and Barca, meanwhile, are in second and third, seven and ten points adrift of Atleti who also have a game in hand over their fierce rivlas.

Valencia, in turn, could realistically get relegated to Segunda this season if Javi Gracia's side won't improve their level of performances in the second part of the current campaign. The Bats failed to defeat rock-bottom Osasuna in midweek at Mestalla (1-1) which means thay are now only three points above the relegation zone.

While Kieran Trippier remains unavailable for the hosts through a suspension, Mario Hermoso is also out with an ankle injury.

Gracia, for his part, has a fully fit squad at his disposal aside from Jasper Cillessen who remains on the sidelines with a muscle problem.

Prediction

Considering Valencia's poor overal form this term so far, Atletico's win on Sunday shouldn't be questioned at no point. Luis Suarez's brace helped Simeone's side defeat Eibar in midweek and the Uruguayan, who leads the league's goalscoring charts right now with 11 strikes, is very likely to contribute to Atleti's seventh La Liga win on the bounce on the weekend.
