Real Valladolid - Atlético Madrid betting tips and odds

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 5.25 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Real Valladolid to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

Having a 1.70 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Atlético Madrid largely expected to beat The Pucelanos, you’d be wise to use it.

The host will be keen to recover from the last round’s Valencia away defeat which brought slight disappointment to their fans. The Pucelanos were never expected to get anything out of this match but a draw at the halftime saw their supporters hope for at least a point. Unsuccessfully though.

The last home win we saw from Atletico Madrid surprised no one. They had a clear advantage in form and played on their home turf against Mallorca, so the decisive victory was predicted by almost every expert who paid attention.

A quick look at recent history shows us that The Pucelanos don’t tend to fare too well at Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

Atletico and their strikers are well-regarded by experts and bookies alike – they managed to score more than 5 times in their previous 3 home games.

Valladolid head into a difficult part of the La Liga season. Three places clear of the relegation zone, they need to keep their guard up until the very end if they want to stay in the league. Challenging times are ahead of the hosts, starting with their Sunday clash against Atletico Madrid.

Los Rojiblancos are offered at 1.70 odds to record an important win in Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla. Three points on Sunday would allow them to close the gap behind the league leaders and make an extra push in an effort to join the title chase.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Atletico Madrid already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

With Jan Oblak, Stefan Savić, Reinildo, Memphis Depay kept from the game due to injuries, the away team is forced to switch things up. They are still considered favourites, but it’s something to keep in mind.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 1 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
