Valladolid and Atletico Madrid will go head to head in the La Liga matchday 38 at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium on Saturday. The kick-off is at 18:00 CEST.

Preview

It's all crystal clear in this encounter as Atletico need all three points on the final matchday in the Spanish top flight to secure their first La Liga title since 2014. As things stand now, Diego Simeone's men, who remain at the top of the table, are two points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid who will be facing Villarreal on the same day.

Valladolid, for their part, will also be hoping to claim a victory on Saturday in a bid to avoid relegation to Segunda. With just one game to go, second-bottom Sergio Gonzalez's side are two points adrift of 18th-placed Elche and Huesca who sit in 17th. Thus, if the Blanquivioletas manage a win against Atleti and both Elche and Huesca lose their respective clashes with Athletic Bilbao and Valencia, Valladolid will continue in La Liga next term.

Team news

Roberto Jimenez, Fabian Orellana, Raul Garcia and Kenan Kodro won't help the hosts through various reasons while Thomas Lemar is the only confirmed absentee in Simeone's squad.

Prediction

This is an absolute must-win game for Atletico. If they share points at Valladolid and Madrid beat Villarreal, it'll be Zinedine Zidane's side who claim the La Liga crown despite being level on points with their city rivals. Therefore, we can't envisage the second-bottom side denying Atletico's title aspirations, especially given Valladolid's current run of 11 consecutive matches without a victory in the league.
