Atletico Madrid vs Valencia Prediction 13 December 2025
🔊 Can the "Bats" put up a worthy challenge against one of the powerhouses of Spanish football? One of Saturday's headline fixtures features a clash between Atletico Madrid and Valencia. Diego Simeone's squad have suffered defeats in their last two La Liga outings, which puts pressure on them to bounce back in front of their home fans. The current form of both teams is reflected in the bookmakers' odds, heavily favoring the home side with a tenfold advantage.
Head-to-Head
📊 Atletico Madrid have historically been highly successful in their head-to-head clashes with Valencia. The last victory for the "Bats" at the Wanda Metropolitano came during the 2010/11 La Liga season, when they won 2-1. Last season, the "Rojiblancos" twice thrashed the "Oranges," securing 3-0 victories both in Madrid and Valencia. Let's note the average goal-scoring figures for each side over their last 10 encounters: Atletico - 2.2, Valencia - 0.9.
Head-to-head statistics Atletico Madrid - Valencia
Atletico Madrid Team Overview
🔴 The capital club recently had a golden opportunity to top the league table. However, losses to Barcelona (1-3) and Athletic (0-1) dashed those plans. Currently, Los Colchoneros sit in 4th place with 31 points from 16 matches. A key highlight is Atlético's home performance-unbeaten in 8 games, boasting 7 wins and 1 draw. Their average scoring rate this season stands at 1.75 goals per match, while conceding an average of 0.94.
⚪ Last weekend, Los Colchoneros unexpectedly fell to Athletic (0-1). Diego Simeone's squad struggled to break down the opponent's compact defense throughout the match. Their attacking players failed to create enough chances to find the back of the net even once. The xG stats were 1.15 to 0.69 in favor of the Lions. Midweek, Los Indios faced additional pressure with a clash against PSV (3-2). Atlético emerged victorious from a goal-fest, with the lack of midfield control contributing to the end-to-end nature of the game.

Valencia Team Overview
🟠 The "Bats" are navigating a challenging period, once again finding themselves teetering between the relegation zone and mid-table security. Currently, the club from the namesake city sits 16th in the standings, just three points clear of the drop zone. Valencia fans are particularly disheartened by their team's away form, with no wins in seven matches on the road. It's also worth noting their average performance this season: scoring 0.93 goals per game while conceding 1.53.
⚫ In their last four league matches, Valencia have managed to avoid defeat. However, in the previous ten rounds, they have secured just one victory-against Levante (1-0). Last weekend, Carlos Corberán's squad drew with Sevilla (1-1) at the Mestalla. Hugo Duro's goal in the 93rd minute electrified the stadium. It would be foolish to deny Valencia deserved at least some points from that match. The expected goals ratio was 1.19 to 0.32 in favor of the "Bats." Hugo Duro, the club's top scorer in La Liga, has netted five goals this season.

Atletico Madrid
🎤 After an emotional 3-2 victory over PSV, Diego Simeone spoke to the press: "We stuck to our game plan and pressed high, even while playing away. We pressed even when their goalkeeper had the ball. A match lasts 90 minutes, and I don't think there are teams that can dominate for the entire duration. There are moments when your opponent takes the initiative. Especially in the Champions League. My team never strayed from our game plan for a moment. Not once did we ease the pressure on our opponents. I'm thrilled that after going down 0-1, we managed to lead 3-1. Then it became 3-2. In the end, it could have been 3-3 or 4-2 in our favor. By the way, PSV hadn't lost since September."
❌ The participation of the following players in the upcoming match remains uncertain: Alejandro Baena (hamstring injury), Jose Maria Gimenez (muscle injury), Clement Lenglet (muscle injury), and Marcos Llorente (muscle injury).
Valencia
🎤 Carlos Corberan reflected on his team's hard-fought draw against Sevilla (1-1), assessing his players' performance: "In my view, the match was physically demanding and intensely contested. We struggled to dominate and create chances. To be fair, Sevilla didn't craft many opportunities either. Early in the second half, we lost our compactness between the lines, allowing them to break through our pressure a few times and push forward. Despite the sluggish pace of the game, the team never gave up and fought until the end. In stoppage time, we scored a goal which, although not enough for a win, serves as a small reward for the effort the team put in to secure a victory. Today, I would like to highlight the role of the substitutes. In my opinion, they all made significant contributions, bringing energy and presence on the field, and were able to help shift the momentum and create chances in the penalty area."
❌ Among Valencia's unavailable players, only Cesar Tárrega stands out, suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
⚽ Goal Prediction
This season, Atletico Madrid have adopted a proactive tactical approach with significant attacking threat from the wings. With a prolific striker and a host of creative players, the "Colchoneros" pose a constant danger. On average, they score 1.8 goals per game. In 4 of their last 5 head-to-head clashes with Valencia, the "Indians" have netted at least twice. The editorial choice is Atletico's individual total over 2 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
We'll base our bet on the average number of corners in matches involving each team: Atletico - 10.5, Valencia - 9.7. It's also important to consider the current statistical trend-at least 11 corner kicks have been recorded in 5 of the last 7 games involving the "Colchoneros." The editorial choice is total corners over 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Several key factors favor the home side in this matchup. Firstly, the "Colchoneros" are among the league's most effective teams in home games, while Valencia struggle on the road, failing to secure a single away win this season. The head-to-head history also leans heavily towards the "Indians." In our view, the "Bats" have minimal chances of securing a victory here. We foresee a final score of 3-1 in favor of Atletico. Our main bet is on Atletico to win with a -1.5 handicap.
