Hi steemates!
Two representatives of the first four of last year's superiority will play in the central duel of the first round of La Liga. Valencia will accept Atletico which has won the Supercup of Europe this week.

Valencia

Having taken the fourth place in the last championship, Valencia has made big breakthrough forward. "Bats" long time tried to return at least to Euro cups, but it was impossible to make it to club in any way. However in last season Valencia could threaten even on bronze medals though it at the end of the championship has a little sat down. Nevertheless, the got earlier-point baggage was enough for "bats" to get to the Champions League.
In off-season Valencia hasn't shown almost anything outstanding. Marcelino Toral's wards have won against Everton - 3:2, Galatasaray - 2:1 and have crushed Bayer - 3:0. Also Valencia has drawn with Leicester - 1:1 and Lausanne - 0:0, and have lost PSV – 1:2.
In the transfer bats market with Marcelino Toral have worked very well. Valencia though has released Nani, Montoya and João Kansela, but has bought this club Kevin Gameyro, Kondogbiya and Diakabi.

Atletico Md

In Atletico at the moment everything develops just fine. At "mattress makers" all main structure has remained, the club has bought Tomas Lemar and was just well prepared for a new season. Diego Simeone's wards have won a few friendly matches before the new championship, but as it has appeared, the Argentinean just experimented. Anyway the victory in the European Super Cup over Real demonstrates that Atletico gradually gets rid of the status of "younger brother". The little manage to win against Real Europe, but "mattress makers" have managed to win a title.

Statistics and personal meetings

Valencia has lost only one of eight last matches.
Valencia has caused a stir at seven of eight previous meetings.
Atletico hasn't scored only in one of ten past duels.
"Mattress makers" at away matches in La Liga have won only two of six last matches.
Valencia can't win against Atletico already eight duels in a row. In the past season "mattress makers" on Mestalye have drawn with Atletico – 0:0, and houses have beaten them 1:0.
Bet "has played in all four previous matches of the considered clubs both score – no".

Valencia, of course, has seriously amplified in off-season and now is quite strong club with which it is necessary to reckon. But all the same "bats" concede to Atletico on the level of the organization of the game. Besides, "mattress makers" are on emotional lift now, and Valencia is a convenient rival for Simeone's team. In the first it is difficult to tour to allocate the obvious favourite, but in defense can win back reliably both collectives. On this match I suggest to take a victory of Atletico.
