Real Valladolid vs Valencia Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

A bottom-of-the-table clash from LaLiga.

This weekend’s LaLiga showdown will witness a bottom-of-the-table clash as Real Valladolid gear up to host Valencia CF in their 17th league game. The Violet and Whites have been a very disappointing side to watch this season. They have struggled to keep up with the pace of the other teams, thanks to their inconsistency and defensive woes. They have lost 11 games and have also conceded 34 goals, the most in the league.

The visitors on the contrary have also not had anything to cherish so far. They are one of the favourites to get relegated at the season’s end, but they are capable enough to stage a fightback. Los Ches are seeking resurgence and will be keen to bounce back to where they belong. Rubén Baraja’s side have had a disappointing away form and are winless on the road so far this season.

Kick Off

Saturday, December 14, 1:30 AM IST

Venue: José Zorrilla

Form

Real Valladolid (in all competitions): L-W-L-L-W

Valencia (in all competitions): L-W-L-W-W

Players to watch 

Marcos André (Real Valladolid)

Marcos Andre will be the man to watch for the home side. He comes into this game on the back of good form and will be looking to replicate his heroics. The Brazilian striker possesses a strong physical presence and can operate across multiple positions up front.

Andre might not be an explosive goalscorer, but contributes heavily to the all-round play of his team. He has scored five goals in his last five games across all competitions.

Hugo Duro (Valencia)

Valencia will look up to their main man Hugo Duro to provide them the goods upfront. The Spanish forward is his side’s top scorer this season with four goals and also has an assist to show for his efforts. One of his four goals came against FC Barcelona in the season opener.

Standing at 6’0, Hugo is a clear winner when it comes to winning aerial duels. His ability to play as a striker, second striker and even a winger if required comes in as an added advantage.
