Match Facts: Valencia (15th, 6 pts)
- Los Che looked to have turned the corner after a sluggish start to the season that saw them lose their first four LaLiga Santander games. Since dispensing with the services of Pako Ayestaran and installing Voro as a caretaker replacement in the dugout, the club has won two on the bounce. Voro has one more game at the helm before Cesare Prandelli takes charge on Monday.
- Valencia are the joint-top scorers in the bottom half of the table and have been spreading the goals around. Seven different players have hit the target for them in the league this term: Santi Mina has notched twice, while Ezequiel Garay, Mario Suarez, Alvaro Medran, Nani, Rodrigo and Dani Parejo have all been on the scoresheet once.
Atletico Madrid (3rd, 12 pts)
- Los Rojiblancos remain unbeaten, having racked up three wins and three draws from the opening six rounds of LaLiga Santander fixtures. What's more, they have conceded just twice all season, while they have 12 goals to their name in domestic action.
- Speaking of goals, Antoine Griezmann will be looking to continue his rich vein of form. He is currently level with Luis Suarez at the top of the division's scoring charts, having netted five times.
