Atletico Madrid-Valladolid is a match from the 18th day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 18:30: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
Fourth place in the standings, tied on points with Villarreal and Betis. Far from the third place occupied by Real Sociedad, far from the first ones, the ones that are the stuff of Barcelona and Real Madrid. The season of Simeone’s Atletico started badly, below what was expected. And the objective now, almost unexpectedly, is to remain in the Champions League, or rather, in the Champions zone, since that too, in this nefarious year, has vanished.
In the week Atletico won away and managed to get through the round in the Copa del Rey. But now a victory is needed in the league, after the defeat against Barcelona and the draw against Almeria. And what better occasion against a Valladolid that has been losing for four games in a row and has its head in the market, especially due to the possible, almost certain, exit of Fresneda? None, of course.
In short, that of tomorrow afternoon, Saturday 21 January, appears to be a written match. It is too important for the Cholo to return to victory in the league. The three points are fundamental, for the Madrilenians, who also risk staying out of the important Europe, the one that counts, the one that earns so much and that also allows them to think about important shots.

The Prediction
A match that should also see, without any particular problems, a victory for Atletico Madrid, who play an important part in the continuation of the season in this challenge. A match with a total of at least three goals, with the three points going the way of Madrid. There really is no doubt about that.
