Valladolid 

Real Valladolid returned to Spain’s top division after a short absence. They began the new season with a win but then went on a long run of eight matches without a victory. Their second win came in Matchday 10, but the team has struggled again since. As a result, Valladolid sits at the bottom of the La Liga table with just 9 points and a goal difference of 10:27. Valladolid has the worst defense in La Liga, making it extremely challenging to climb out of the relegation zone with such defensive issues.

Atlético

Atlético Madrid, on the other hand, is enjoying a winning streak of six consecutive matches across all competitions. In La Liga, they have lost only once — a 0:1 defeat to Real Betis — while securing 8 wins and 5 draws. They trail the second-placed team by just 1 point and are 5 points behind the league leaders. This puts Atlético in a strong position to contend for the title this season. With the best defense in La Liga, conceding only 8 goals in 14 matches, Atlético’s chances of winning the championship look promising.
