Game Preview
Valencia fans have seen a wide range of outcomes in the 2023 season, with their home team taking six of the available twelve points. They got off to a flying start, winning their first two games to immediately put themselves in the thick of things for the playoff spots.
The hope of fans for a great season spent in a tight race for the playoffs swiftly faded. With a current win-loss record of 2-2, the home team has fallen to the middle of the pack. After two losses and two victories, they entered the week in 11th place.
After winning two of their previous three games, many experts predicted that Valencia would come away with at least a draw from their match against Alaves to kick off the month. Even if a tie or a win on the road is usually acceptable, Valencia was defeated by Alaves by a score of 1-0.
Ozkzacar scored the game-winning goal six minutes into the match when he accidentally sent the ball into his own net. Valencia had opportunities to tie the game, but they were unable to convert due to a lack of confidence in the final third.
Atletico Madrid is still undefeated after only three games, while most of its competitors have already played four. They have two victories and a draw. All three La Liga matches took place in August, with Madrid’s 3-1 home triumph against Granada being the first victory of the season.
As expected, Madrid came out on top, and they did so with two goals in stoppage time. Llorente’s goal at the 98-minute mark made the game more competitive than the final score indicated.
A goalless road draw against Real Betis followed Atletico’s impressive home victory against Granada in the Europa League. The players, coaches, and supporters who had hoped to see Madrid continue their success from their previous game against Granada were all left disappointed by the result.
The last time we saw Madrid play, they thumped Rayo Vallecano 7–0 on the road, sending a strong message to the rest of the league. Business in Madrid is serious.
