Real Valladolid vs Barcelona Prediction

Real Valladolid Form

In their last three matches, Real Valladolid lost 2-1 against Rayo Vallecano, 0-3 against Sevilla and 2-0 against Cadiz. Real Valladolid only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent La Liga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored nine and conceded 15 goals.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Real Valladolid, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona won twice in their last three matches as Osasuna were defeated by 1-0, before they beat Espanyol 2-4. Real Sociedad proved too strong, though, and a 1-2 defeat followed. Barcelona won half their previous six away matches in the La Liga, as well as seeing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored ten goals whilst conceding five.

Barcelona are favoured by the bookmakers, and while we are certain, Real Valladolid is going to put up a fight, we believe the visitors will prevail in the end.

Barcelona claimed nine wins from 25 goals scored and three conceded in the previous nine encounters with opponents from the bottom six of the La Liga. This earned them a total of 29 points. Real Valladolid have a record of ten wins, five draws and 20 defeats in the La Liga this season. Barcelona show off 27 wins, four draws and four defeats in the La Liga.
