Sunday Football Tips: All about Atletico in 6/1 Bet Builder

Diego Simeone
Diego Simeone's side can always be relied upon for cards

Paul Higham has a 6/17.00 Bet Builder to go at for Atletico's home clash with Valencia in Sunday night's La Liga clash...


We've got a tasty game in Madrid on Sunday as surging Valencia visit Atletico looking to improve their European chances.

Four wins on the spin has fired Ruben Baraja's side into the hunt for the top six, but that form will be tested at the fortress Metropolitano - where Atleti have won 19 of 21 scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game.

Diego Simone may have to make changes after playing in the Copa Del Rey only on Thursday, but the hosts are still warm favourites. As always though it's the stats we're interested in.

Leg 1: Morata to score

Valencia's defence has been pretty good of late, but Atletico have been banging in goals at home for fun this season, as we said earlier to the tune of 2.5 per game.

Morata's the top scorer in La Liga for Atleti with 13 goals, and he's got 23 overall across the season so far including scoring in two of his last three.

Morata's the 11/102.11 anytime goalscorer market leader, and rightly so as he'll be included in our Bet Builder.

Leg 2: Atletico three or more cards

There's been more cards than Clinton's in recent Atletico home games, with Simeone's men being shown 3-6-7-3 in the last four.

They got five away at Valencia and even back at home they should be good for another three or more cards at 10/111.91.

The opposition could help us out here too, with the visitors on a decent run and with a decent record defensively, Atleti's patience may be tested - and that doesn't usuall end well for them.

Leg 3: Atletico most corners

It's just 1/21.50 for Atletico to win the most corners but it should be a safe one considering no team wins fewer corner kicks than Valencia.

Even when Valencia won their home fixture against Atletico 3-0, the visitors won more corners, going 8-5.

So back at home there shouldn't be too many problems winning this one.

Back Morata to score, Atletico 3+ cards & most corners v Valencia @ 6/17.00
