Atlético, an impregnable fortress against Valladolid
Atlético de Madrid prepares to welcome Real Valladolid at the Metropolitano, a stronghold that has historically become a nightmare for the Pucelanos. The Colchoneros, with the unconditional support of their fans, will seek to extend their dominance over the Blanquivioleta team and strengthen their position in the table.
Recent statistics are overwhelming: Valladolid has accumulated four consecutive defeats at the Metropolitano, without even managing to score a goal. A notable contrast to their results at the old Calderón, where they did reap victories and draws.
In their last visit to the Metropolitano, Atlético demonstrated their superiority with a resounding 3-0, scoring all the goals in the first half. The Rojiblanco dominance in the recent league matches is undeniable, with 14 victories and only one draw in the last 15 games.
In fact, Atlético only has a better current streak without conceding goals at home against UD Las Palmas. Although Real Valladolid has tasted victory against Atlético in the past, including a 1-2 in the 2008-09 season and another win in 1995-96, both at the Calderón, the present clearly favors the Madrid team. With the grit and fighting spirit that characterize Atlético de Madrid, Simeone’s team is confident in maintaining their invincibility at home and continuing to add important points for their aspirations.
