Atlético Madrid - Real Valladolid betting tips and odds

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Atlético Madrid. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Los Rojiblancos and the 9.00 odds given to Real Valladolid to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Level at the break and after 90 minutes of their last round’s La Liga game, Los Rojiblancos are up to make amends. The last match saw them leave the ground widely disappointed after a stalemate at Almería. Will they bounce back though?

Real Valladolid spent most of their previous La Liga match on the back foot, and the first half ended in a tie. The odds were decidedly against them, however, despite the fact they were playing at home. Their opponents Rayo Vallecano ultimately took a narrow lead in the late game and won the game 0:1.

The Pucelanos’s recent matches have been relatively uneventful. The previous two, for instance, ended with less than 2 goals at the final whistle.

As we move into round 18 of this year’s La Liga, the home team are near the peak of the current standings. This match offers a good shot to build up even more points, maybe even for a shot at the title.

With just 17_TO_SAFE_ZONE points between them and the relegation zone and a clash with Atletico ahead of them, Valladolid’s prospects this season seem grim going into round 18. Surviving in the La Liga is likely their only goal moving forward.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the bet365 priced at 2.00 odds.
