Real Valladolid - Real Madrid predictions

Real Valladolid are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 10.23, no punter will dare backing them up against Real Madrid. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Real Madrid seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at 1.29, the odds favour them heavily, so any outcome other than an away win is not exactly a safe choice.

The hosts can count themselves fortunate to have avoided a bigger defeat in their last La Liga outing. They were seen as the 5.44 underdogs to claim what would have been a rather shocking away win and a narrow Espanyol beating they took will not leave too deep a dent in their confidence.

Los Blancos have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 4:1 in a home game against Las Palmas. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.18 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

Valladolid’s recent La Liga away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 7 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 La Liga matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

The remainder of the season will not be easy for The Pucelanos. They’ll need to work hard just to get out of the relegation zone, for which they’ll need 4 points.

Real Madrid have enjoyed a fine season so far in the La Liga. They sit top of the ladder with 46 points after 21 matches and will be looking to extend their lead when they meet The Pucelanos. The Saturday game should not be too difficult to win, though, if we’re making our decisions based on the available odds clearly favouring the visitors.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. Real Madrid decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
