Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid: Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

On Sunday, Real Madrid will host Real Valladolid at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The visitors will undoubtedly play their hearts out in pursuing a historic La Liga triumph despite the inherent difficulty of facing the defending champions so early in the season.

Previous Matches and head-to-head

Looking at the LaLiga rankings, the two clubs are currently separated by two points and twelve positions.

Even if they probably wanted more from their season opener, Real Madrid started with a point.

Real Madrid earned three points in their most recent match against Real Valladolid. It will be shocking if they are unable to pull it off once again when they meet on Sunday.

Real Madrid's statistics from their last 10 matches are impressive. They averaged 2.4 goals per game and had a goal differential of 0.7 per game, with 24 goals scored and 7 goals conceded. They also kept seven pristine sheets.

In 10 matches, Real Valladolid scored nine goals while allowing fifteen and prevented their opponents from scoring four times.

Real Madrid has won all three of their La Liga meetings against Real Valladolid in recent history (6-0, 2-0, and 1-0). The best betting odds see Real Madrid as 1/8 favourites to win their fourth game this coming Sunday.

Real Madrid is ready to take on any current opponent, with two victories and a tie in their past three matches. Borussia Dortmund was defeated 0-2 by them, while Atalanta was defeated 2-0. As a result of a draw in the match, they lost their winning run vs Mallorca. The final tally was 1-1. Real Madrid has been on a roll with five wins in their last six La Liga matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. They avoided loss by drawing once, scoring 17 goals, and allowing just two.

Of course, Real Madrid's primary objective this season is to win the La Liga championship. However, they should also be able to finish in the top two spots.

After a roller coaster of outcomes, Real Valladolid finally prevailed against Villarreal B, 3-2. After that, it was all downhill; they dropped a 2-1 decision to Tenerife and then beat Espanyol 1-0. There has been only one victory in Real Valladolid's last six La Liga away games. They scored thirteen goals, allowed four, tied one, lost four, and won one.

Real Madrid x Real Valladolid Team News

When Real Madrid takes on Real Valladolid this coming Sunday, they may need as many as five players due to injury or suspension. Since Ferland Mendy and Daniel Carvajal are serving bans, the Real Madrid manager cannot bring them up.

Real Madrid will play Real Valladolid on Sunday without Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, Vinicius Junior, David Alaba, and Jesus Vallejo.

Our Predictions

Under 2.5 goals @2.98 on Sky247.ng

Real Madrid would likely consider any result lower than a second-place finish disappointing. With a shot at the championship, the hosts know they must get off to a strong start.

The host team's home-field advantage should be enough for Real Madrid, but a low-scoring victory might be a better value option. The Real Valladolid visitors should give it their all.
