Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid are enduring a difficult season. They sit last in La Liga with just 9 points from 16 matches. Paulo Pezzolano got dismissed last week as the Ronaldo-owned club scrambles to avoid relegation. 

The club reportedly approached Francisco, renowned for his success at low-budget teams like Almería, Huesca, and Girona. However, negotiations reportedly broke down as Francisco declined the club’s terms.

The leading candidate for the job is Huesca coach Antonio Hidalgo. While relatively inexperienced in Spain, Hidalgo has impressed by revitalizing a struggling Huesca side and steering them away from relegation. Though no formal deal is set, reports suggest Pucela must pay approximately €300,000 to secure his services. 

Real Valladolid have won just two matches this season: a 1-0 victory over Espanyol in the season opener and another against Deportivo Alavés in October. Their remaining 14 games include three draws and 11 defeats. Pezzolano’s side struggled to adapt to the attacking quality of La Liga, a stark contrast to the Segunda División. 

Valencia

Valencia are in a similarly precarious position, sitting 19th in La Liga, just one point ahead of Real Valladolid. However, their situation is unique due to the DANA storm, which postponed several matches. As a result, Los Ches have two games in hand that could help them escape the relegation zone. They currently trail 18th-placed Espanyol by four points. 

Valencia’s record is similarly poor, winning just two of their 14 matches, though they have managed four draws compared to Valladolid’s three. Los Ches defeated Girona 2-0 in late September but endured a two-month wait for their next victory over Real Betis. Their postponed matches against Espanyol and Real Madrid are scheduled for December 18th and January 3rd, respectively.

Real Valladolid vs Valencia Prediction

• Prediction: Draw
• Odds: 3.06 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Real Valladolid 1-1 Valencia

Neither team is in good form, though Valencia’s record appears slightly better. Los Ches managed 1-1 draws against Getafe and Leganés, whereas Valladolid recently lost 2-1 to Las Palmas and 2-0 to Getafe. 

Valencia also hold a superior goal difference of -9 compared to Valladolid’s -23, a figure skewed by their 7-0 loss to Barcelona. 

Los Ches have dominated this matchup historically, including a 2-1 victory in their last encounter. However, given their recent struggles and defensive frailties, a draw seems the most likely outcome.

Real Valladolid vs Valencia Betting Tip

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: 2.04 (22Bet)

Both teams have gone winless in La Liga over the past month, though they progressed in the Copa del Rey. A victory seems unlikely for either side, but the vulnerabilities in both defenses suggest a match with goals. 

Both teams have prioritized attack while neglecting defensive discipline, such as pressing or maintaining a compact shape. This game will likely be decided by defensive errors, not attacking brilliance.
