Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Team Overview
Real Madrid
Following their triumph in the Supercup against Atalanta, Los Blancos were expected to get their first victory in La Liga. However, Mallorca showed determination and held the opponents to a 1-1 draw. Despite a dominant first-half performance, Real Madrid allowed too many errors in the second half and eventually lost valuable points.

After finally signing Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid is widely regarded as the main contender for a second consecutive La Liga title. According to Transfermarkt, the squad boasts three players worth over $190 million, leading some to describe this as the beginning of a new Galacticos era. However, the first match did not yield the desired result.
Against Mallorca, Real Madrid were mostly affected in the midfield. Toni Kroos’ departure illustrated the weaknesses in this area, as the club lacked creative passes. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham looked modest and failed to break the deadlock.

Real Valladolid
Real Valladolid made a successful return to the top flight after their relegation in the 2022/2023 season, starting their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Espanyol. Raul Moro, recently acquired from Lazio, was the match’s only scorer, securing the win in the first half.

However, Espanyol were dangerous in the attack and in the second half, a dangerous counterattack was thwarted by Valladolid’s defenders and secured their victory.
Looking ahead, Valladolid’s primary goal this season is to secure their place in La Liga and avoid another relegation battle. However, against Real Madrid, they will have slim chances of getting a positive result, although they will come out on the field with maximum motivation.

Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Player Focus
Real Madrid boast perhaps the strongest squad in the world. Their formidable attack featuring Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, Vini Jr. and Jude Bellingham are a menace to any team. While their performance against Mallorca were below their usual level, it’s unlikely that they’ll repeat the same mistakes against Valladolid.

Mbappe, 25, has already netted against Atalanta. He hit the crossbar in the previous match and will be motivated to open his tally in La Liga.
Valladolid will place their hopes on a new signing, Raul Moro, who scored against Espanyol. Mamadou Sylla, the club’s best goalscorer in La Liga 2, will also pose a threat to Los Blanco’s centre-backs.
Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Tactical Analysis
After signing Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid started playing with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with the French striker being the primary forward. Carlo Ancelotti will likely stick to the same tactics against Valladolid, but we might see Brahim Diaz instead of Rodrygo.

Valladolid, on the other hand, have been been deploying a 4-3-3 formation, with a strong emphasis on controlling the midfield. Against Real Madrid, the Blanquivioletas are likely to play from the defence and wait for their chances on counterattacks.
Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Prediction
- Football pick: Real Madrid Individual Total Over 2.5
- Odds: 1.61 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Real Valladolid
Following the upset at Son Moix Stadium, Real Madrid need to bounce back as soon as possible. Losing points at home against Valladolid is not part of Ancelotti’s plan. With a terrifying attacking trio, Los Blancos will seize the initiative from the first minute and create a lot of dangerous chances.

¡HalaMadrid! 🤍🤍🤍 @realmadrid pic.twitter.com/ruksazaB8U— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) August 14, 2024
The previous match ended 6-0, and we think the hosts can score at least three goals in this encounter. This is further backed by the H2H stats, which show that Real Madrid have frequently netted three times against their opponents.
There is a huge difference in class, and Real Madrid is clearly the favourite. Expect Ancelotti’s side to score three times and win the fixture convincingly.
Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 2.07 (22Bet)
In the previous match, Antonio Rudiger appeared unsettled and made several defensive errors, culminating in Vedat Muriqi’s goal, which exposed Real Madrid’s vulnerabilities at the back.
While Valladolid are arguably the underdogs here, but they can exploit the weaknesses of Los Blancos and score at least once against them. Moreover, in the past five H2H matches, the guests have gone without scoring, and are expected to end the goalless drought in Madrid.

With Ferland Mendy suspended, Valladolid will put pressure on the left flank. We think that both teams will score against each other, and the guests won’t hesitate to attack occasionally.
