Preview: Real Valladolid vs. Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid can get back to winning ways in La Liga on Sunday when they make the trip to Real Valladolid.

Diego Simeone's side suffered a shock loss to Rubin Kazan in their first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday and were also defeated in the league last weekend by Rayo Vallecano.

However, they still remain second in the table - four points ahead of local rivals Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, no wins in their last three league outings have seen 10th-placed Vallecano looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone.

Antonio Rukavina is suspended for the hosts, while both sides have no new injury concerns ahead of the match.
