Valencia Atalanta betting prediction

Despite the 3 goals disadvantage from the 1st leg match, the home team has the advantage of having scored 1 goal in the away first leg match. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got an away tie against Deportivo Alavés by (1‑1). In the last 10 home matches Valencia has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 12 of their 34 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Valencia arrive for this game with a 1-1 draw at Alavés, registering in this way the second consecutive match without winning in the Spanish championship. In the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, the home team lost to Atalanta, 4-1. In this complicated game at home, manager Albert Celades should maintain the usual 4-3-3, favoring the organization of his block and quick transitions through the aisles. On an individual level we highlight Dani Parejo, the team's captain, a player who scored 10 goals in official competitions. Despite the offensive quality, the "bats" have several gaps in set pieces and in the attack-defense transition. Out of this game are Maxi Gómez, Mangala and Garay, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Jasper Cillessen, Gayá, Mouctar Diakhaby, Dani Parejo, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Ferrán Torres, Carlos Soler, Daniel Wass, Francis Coquelin, Rodrigo, Kévin Gameiro.
