REAL MADRID V VALLADOLID ODDS HERE!
Winning Start For Both Teams
Los Blancos got off on the right foot this campaign with a 3-1 victory away at Celta Vigo, though they looked largely unbalanced for the most part. VAR and Thibaut Courtois bailed out some calamitous defending at times, but having gone down to 10 men in the 56th minute they did well to dig deep and secure the win. Indeed, a 61st-minute wonder strike from Toni Kroos put them two up and a beautifully slick move finished by Lucas Vazquez in the 80th minute put the game to bed.
Meanwhile, Valladolid opened their account with an impressive away win at Betis, although their hosts were a man down after just eight minutes and you get the feeling that the Bernabeu will provide a much sterner test.
Madrid Reinforcements Shine, Modric Suspended
Despite Madrid’s reinforcements, attacking trio Eden Hazard, Rodrygo and Marco Asensio are all sidelined through injury, so Zidane’s hands are partially tied and he must pick from Bale, Benzema, Jovic, Vinicius Junior and Vazquez to lead the line – though most clubs would relish a selection of that calibre.
Valladolid Against Top Six
Moreover, Luka Modric will be suspended following his sending off, but despite those absences, this is still a match that Real should win. Their home record versus bottom-half teams from last season reads W8-D0-L2, which while inferior to the 17 wins from 20 unbeaten matches against such teams from the previous two campaigns, is still too hot for Valladolid to handle.
The visitors were winless across their 12 fixtures against top six last season (D3-L9), including defeats in all six encounters with the ‘Big Three’, but the market value doesn’t look an attractive proposition all things considered.
Real To Win And Both Teams To Score
Instead, we look to Los Blancos repeating their feat of last weekend with a win and both teams to score. Celta Vigo’s goal now means Zizou’s men have only managed a solitary clean sheet in their last 12 outings including pre-season, with a whopping seven goals conceded when they faced Atletico Madrid last month.
Although Valladolid aren’t the most prolific scorers, the loan signing of Sandro Ramirez could cause the hosts’ leaky backline problems, while Sergi Guardiola and Oscar Plano both showed great ability with their backs to goal in their finishes at the weekend.
What’s more, Valladolid’s last 19 matches have not seen either side bag more than two goals since their last encounter with Real back in March (including pre-season). If Madrid’s appeal to have Modric’s red card overturned is unsuccessful, they’ll lose an integral cog in their machine, and the result may not be as easy to come by. Of these aforementioned 19 matches, only three have been decided by more than a single goal, and the market for that to happen again looks appealing.
