Valencia Preview – Can Valencia pull out the stops?
A 4-1 deficit faces the hosts in this 2nd leg Champions League tie against Atalanta after a disastrous 1st leg loss in Italy and Valencia look to be staring down the barrel of an early exit in the knockout rounds of this competition unless they can pull off something close to a miracle on Tuesday night.
Valencia’s task looks even tougher as the hosts have managed to collect just 1 win out of their last 7 matches in all competitions which includes a 2-1 home win over Real Betis in La Liga but also 4 defeats and their prospects of progressing in the champions league look remote at best.
Hope is not all lost though as they hold home advantage here and they’ve suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 ties on home turf with wins against Young Boys, Manchester United and Lille while 4 of Valencia’s last 5 home ties have seen both teams score, and it’s this option that we go with for this clash.
Atalanta Preview – Can Atalanta finish the job?
It would take a herculean effort from Valencia to overturn Atalanta’s formidable looking 4-1 lead as these two teams prepare to do battle in Spain for this 2nd decisive leg in the last round of 16 in the Champions League, especially as Atalanta head into this tie having won their last 5 matches on the trot in all competitions.
Indeed, Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 7 matches overall and the goals have been flowing along too with the visitors putting 7 goals against Torino and Lecce but the visitors have tended to score and concede on a regular basis too as well as both teams have scored in 6 of Atalanta’s last 7 matches.
The Italian outfit have a very limited pedigree at this level but it looks like we’ll see more of Atalanta in the next round of the Champions League where they stand a good chance of progressing deeper into the competition, given their goalscoring prowess.
