These are our Real Valladolid vs Elche predictions and tips:

Real Valladolid draw no bet

We would like to start by pointing out that Real Valladolid have been going through a rough patch lately; as they are coming into this match on the back of three consecutive losses. However, Elche have not particularly fared much better. The visitors managed just one win in their last six games across all competitions. It’s important to note however, that Real Valladolid held their own against Elche in the past. They are unbeaten in the last five skirmishes between these teams, and have no losses in Elche’s last nine trips to this stadium. All things considered, we are leaning towards the hosts with the draw no bet option.

One team to blank

We’ve already established that Real Valladolid have lost three consecutive matches. It may interest you to know that they did not score a single goal in that three-game stretch. That said, at least one team blanked in six of Valladolid’s last seven matches; and considering this was the case with six of Elche’s last nine games, we shouldn’t expect goals at both ends.

Less than three total goals

Our last Real Valladolid vs Elche prediction is on the over/under goals market. Given that Real Valladolid scored no goals in their last three matches, it’s no surprise that they’ve been involved in a lot of low-scoring games recently. As a matter of fact, the hosts have seen six of their last seven matches go below the 2.5 goal line. In like manner, 13 of Elche’s last 14 games across all competitions featured less than three goals; and for this reason, we are taking the under 2.5 goals option.
