Atletico v Valladolid Live

Atletico de Madrid play hosts to Valladolid this weekend in the La Liga which is live online here at oleolefootball.watchlive.net at 16:00 GMT on Sunday 1^st January 2009 with La Liga football online.

Both clubs are without a win in 2009 and will be desperate for a victory with Atletico still pushing for a European cup qualification place next year, whilst Valladolid look to secure La Liga football for next year as they sit 7 points above the relegation zone.

Atletico come into the game on the back of 1-1 away draw against fellow European qualification contenders Malaga. The home side went ahead after 22 minutes with a deflected long range shot before Dutch defender John Heitinga leveled the game before half-time.

The club has had to endure intense speculation linking star player Sergio Aguero with a move away from the Vicente Calderon. Numerous European clubs have expressed interest in the striker, intensified by claims from Argentina manager Diego Maradona that a move away from Atletico would benefit the youngster.

Valladolid also come into the game on the back of a draw after a 1-1 draw at home to strugglers Espanyol. Swedish striker Henok Goitom sent Valladolid ahead in the 42^nd minute and it seemed that ‘Pucela’ had to done enough to earn a precious victory before Espanyol’s Sergio Sanchez equalized 11 minutes from time.

Valladolid came out on top the last time the two sides met with a 2-1 win at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla back in September 2008. Vivar Dorado and Javier Baraga scored that time around with Aguero netting the only goal for Atletico. Valladolid currently sit 12^th in the table but will still be nervously looking below them should they not win on Sunday.
