Live: Valencia vs Atletico Madrid – Sadiq Umar and Lookman at loggerheads in La Liga

​Two Super Eagles stars, Ademola Lookman and Umar Sadiq, are set to face off as Valencia host Atletico Madrid in this week’s Round 34 La Liga fixture, Afrik-Foot reports.

​The clash, which will be played at the Estadio de Mestalla, carries high stakes for both sides. Los Colchoneros need a victory to solidify their Champions League qualification, while Los Che are still fighting to secure their top-flight survival.

​A win for Atletico Madrid would leave them needing just one more point from their final four games to mathematically seal a Champions League spot. Meanwhile, for Valencia, a home win would all but guarantee another season in La Liga.

​Coming into this match, striker Umar Sadiq is in fine form, having scored in back-to-back games; he will be eager to extend that streak today.

Meanwhile, Lookman remains one of the most potent threats in the league and will be looking to do some damage for Diego Simeone’s side.

Atleti enter this tie as the slight favourites, but Valencia can capitalize on the fact that Simeone’s men are distracted with the Champions League. Recall that they have a crucial semifinal against Arsenal coming up. So the Los Colchoneros side you see today might not be at their best.
