Valencia vs Atalanta − Match preview
In the first leg of this tie Atalanta battered the Spanish visitors 4-1, with Hans Hateboer bagging a brace. As a result, Valencia have plenty of work to do to force themselves back into the tie and – following coronavirus precautions – they won’t have the added support that playing at home usually affords.
Atalanta have been in stunning form of late too. Since beating Valencia, the team went on to absolutely demolish Lecce away from home, taking home a 7-2 win. Those 11 goals in the last two games are a surefire warning that the Valencia defence will need to be on the ball this evening.
The Spanish side are without key defender, Ezequiel Garay, who has a knee injury and Maxi Gomez remains sidelined with a broken foot.
In terms of league form, Valencia have racked up one loss, one win and one draw since their first leg defeat to Atalanta. There isn’t too much in the form book to suggest they will overturn the Italians’ huge aggregate advantage.
Valencia will have to play on the front foot throughout and look to attack at absolutely every chance they are given. The resulting game has the potential to be hugely entertaining and it’s well worth tuning in on BT Sport.
