Jonas & Banega out for Valencia , and Atlético with full squad i'm backing Atlético to win.

[ohdecas]

Watch out Atletico plays Barcelona @ 11.01.2014

[Merkel]

Yep, but Barca plays Copa tomorrow as well.....

[ohdecas]

I am not talking about Barcelona but about Atletico players that have to play a very important liga match in 4 days. And Valencia can be boosted by the new coach.

[Merkel]

Sure, but going by current form and how the season has gone in Spain, I don't think Atletico has to be any more concerned playing Barca then Barca would be playing them with 1 day less to recover as well. They take the Cup seriously in Spain, unlike in some other competitions.

[plekz]

still Jonas + Banega out, and Atlético has rested over the holidays with no games played. And it's a HOME game to Barca not an AWAY game.

And it's an equally important game for Barca who are still dragging several injuries and going away to play at a place that so far has been death to every team who's played there this season.

[DarkNite]

Good luck!

[ohdecas]

Banega another injury @ the pump station?

[addictedto]

Simeone plays for everything this season, he is super ambitious and ready to do whatever it needs to prove himself and the team's quality. He has named now full squad, and I won't be surprised if he fields a strong team. Playing Costa would mean game over for Valencia defense. This guy is world class, I repeat world class to the level of Messi and Ronaldo. So you guys chill out, wait for the starting 11s, then decide or play live.

atletico the reigning champs as well so take it more seriously

Is there a typical amount of time in advance that teams usually release the starting XI?

Good Idea

hour or so

[Merkel]

Only thing I'm not liking so far is the Atletico ml @ +105 or so, seems a bit too sweet if you get my drift..... Will also wait for line ups...

[Vaughany]

I think he'll go with Diego Costa and Adrian partnership

[plekz]

I expect Gabi to start aswell, it was clear they really missed him in saturdays game

[Merkel]

Just read that of the last 13 home games against Atletico, Valencia have only lost 1....... This is starting to look like a pass....

[Vaughany]

yeah he is rested so no reason why he wouldnt play, I guess Koke wont start though. Maybe he'll even start his Estudiantes buddy Jose Sosa in place of Turan. Juanfran is suspended for the Barca game so he will play

[Vaughany]

yeah, a bit of a bogey team for Atletico at Mestalla. But this Valencia and this current Atletico are very different to the ones of previous few years. One has slowly declined in quality while the other has gradually improved

[Vaughany]

Im just gonna wait and bet live on Atletico if they are looking comfortable

[plekz]

Atlético has never been as good as they are now though. They beat Real Madrid at home. Something Atlético had managed once before back in 1999 with over 70% of the meetings between the two teams prior to this fall being RM victories by more then one goal.

[ardacet8]

I wouldn't bet pre game for At Madrid, if Arda Turan won't start from beginning. Maybe I'm looking emotional because he is a true Galatasaray player, but definitely Atletico plays more solid and decisive with him. Otherwise Atletico won't be worth the 2,10ish price tag before we see what happens.

[Vaughany]

lol worst dive/s ever seen in last Atletico game! Weligton!

[plekz]

Also Valencia needs not ONE not TWO but THREE in this game to even be able to advance in Copa del Ray which means if Atlético even get's one Valencias chances of going through turns to ZERO

I also don't see anyone in Valencias troop to get them the THREE they need against Atlético unless Simione plays his b-squad but looking at the team choosen to travel he hasn't done that.

[Vaughany]

yee unless Helder Postiga has the game of his of life it's hard imagining them scoring goals!

[Giz]

if diego costas starting play valencia

[Giz]

yee unless Helder Postiga has the game of his of life it's hard imagining them scoring goals!

postiga can score anywhere beware

[plekz]

yee unless Helder Postiga has the game of his of life it's hard imagining them scoring goals!

Or Pabon hitting three hail-mary shots from 40-50 yards out. (which i also don't see happening)

[Vaughany]

postiga can score anywhere beware

as can Toby ALderwiereld

[Merkel]

postiga can score anywhere beware

Stick to pucks kid.

[Giz]

Stick to pucks kid.

merkz enjoy winnaazzz brother
