We're under way in this LaLiga clash.
Atletico Madrid desperately need to improve their form in LaLiga to solidify their push for a Champions League place. Los Rojiblancos have won only one of their last six games in the league, but did make it through to the next phase of the Copa del Rey after beating Levante during the week. Diego Simeone's men have the talent, but need to find their rhythm in the league.
ATLETICO MADRID (4-1-4-1): Jan Oblak; Nahuel Molina, Axel Witsel, Mario Hermoso, Reinildo; Koke; Marcos Llorente, Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa, Thomas Lemar; Alvaro Morata.
ATLETICO MADRID SUBS: Ivo Grbic, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Rodrigo de Paul, Memphis Depay, Saul Niguez, Felipe, Yannick Carrasco, Sergio, Antonio Gomis, Pablo Barrios Rivas, Marco Moreno.
REAL VALLADOLID SUBS: Zouhair Feddal, Gonzalo Plata, Mickael Malsa, Sergi Guardiola, Roque Mesa, Juanjo Narvaez, Ivan Sanchez, Sergio Asenjo, Ivan Fresneda, Lucas Rosa.
Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Atletico Madrid and Real Valladolid at the Civitas Metropolitano.
REAL VALLADOLID (3-4-3): Jordi Masip; David Torres, Jawad El Yamiq, Javi Sanchez; Luis Perez, Alvaro Aguado, Kike Perez, Lucas Olaza; Sergio Leon, Oscar Plano, Shon Weissman.
Valladolid have lost their last four matches on the bounce in LaLiga and are sitting one point and place above the relegation zone. Pacheta's men are suffering from a lack of confidence on the pitch and need a result quickly to turn momentum in their favour. They have played tight games against Mallorca and Rayo Vallecano in their last two outings, but lost by one goal. They need to be resilient today.
Valladolid were committed to playing expansive football, but paid the price as Atletico were able to cut them open with ease at the back. They face a test of character in the second half to keep the scoreline down. They need to get the first goal in the second half to have any hope of producing a dramatic comeback.
Thanks for joining our commentary today. Until next time, goodbye.
Atletico are next in action against Real Madrid on the road in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on Thursday. Real Valladolid travel to Villarreal next Monday for their next LaLiga outing.
