Spanish La Liga
2006-05-06 - Valencia C.F vs Athletico Madrid
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Valencia enters this match knowing that a win here could hand them back the 2nd place in La Liga after they were beaten by Real Mallorca in their last match, which ended their winning run of over five matches. They could be in 2nd place for at least 24 hours before Real Madrid plays against Villarreal the following day.
Valencia will aim to redeem themselves after their last defeat and they have every chance of collecting maximum points here as their home record is good havign won 10 matches, drawn 7 and just lost 1 at the home venue. Apart from the 1-1 draw with Villarreal, they have won their last three home matches in a row now and they have beaten sides such as Cadiz, Espanyol and Alaves scoring a total of 12 goals and conceded only 3 in the process.
Their opponents Athletico Madrid meanwhile a place in Europe is almost out of reach by now and they are already safe from the prospect of relegation. Their away form reads as 6 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats. They are unbeaten in their last four away games, but with their season virtually over they will relax a bit more now. Their last match away was a 1-0 win over Alaves who is in the bottom 3. Then there was the 1-1 draws against Espanyol, Cadis and Villarreal.
With the 2nd spot up for grabs, at least they can be in it for 24 hours, I will go for Valencia to win this match and give the 3/4 ball away here.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
