Valencia - Real Valladolid predictions

With the odds set at 1.38 for a home win, Valencia winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Valencia and the 10.00 odds given to Real Valladolid to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

Valencia are probably reasonably satisfied with the result of their previous La Liga match at Osasuna . They went into it as clear underdogs with a home-field disadvantage, and things only seemed direr at half-time. They somehow scraped together a 3:3 draw, however, and not a lot of people saw it coming.

Real Valladolid’s previous away game at Las Palmas ended as a 1:1 draw. Real Valladolid are likely much happier with this outcome than their opponents, though, considering they were clear underdogs and didn’t fare too well In the first half.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Valencia have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Real Valladolid may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

While it’s too early to write them off completely, the game’s hosts are on very thin ice. Stuck in the relegation zone at number 18th, the 3 points they can earn this Saturday are just what they need.

The season is already in its latter stages, which is increasingly a problem for Real Valladolid They’re still in the relegation zone and the upcoming showdown is not exactly favourable to earn the 8 points they’ll need.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this La Liga clash tells a different story. Valencia lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.05, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
