Villarreal - Real Valladolid predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Villarreal winning is by far the most likely outcome.

Considering what they’re up against, Real Valladolid can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 12.12 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

A Atlético Madrid draw for The Yellow Submarine and a point from a tough trip away in the La Liga will have been enough a motivation for the home side. They were not favoured to get anything out of their previous match and to see them lead at the halftime mark and claim a point in the end must feel good to their fans.

The away team are coming on the back of a very hard matchup against Real Madrid. It’s hard to claim that they ever had any real shot at winning, despite playing as the hosts. Top online bookmakers priced such an outcome at 1.25, so it’s no surprise that they recorded an HT/FT, 0:3 defeat.

Villarreal’s attackers have been seeing a lot of success lately, even in away matches. For instance, they scored 6 times during the course of their previous three away games.

Based on their recent performance, The Pucelanos’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 7 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

The Pucelanos shouldn’t pose much of a problem for the hosts, though they can’t afford to relax yet. There are more rounds of the season to go, so both improving and losing their number 5th slot in the standings is still on the table.

The Pucelanos’s La Liga campaign has been going quite poorly this year – they’re currently stuck in the relegation zone and are going into a very difficult matchup. There’s thankfully still time to strive for a better outcome, but time is running out quickly.

The two teams already met this season in the La Liga, with Villarreal taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Thankfully, Valladolid will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
