Real Valladolid vs Real Madrid Predictions, Best Bets, Odds

Real Madrid won the La Liga title and Champions League this year. They are second in the table behind Barcelona. Madrid lost the first Clasico of the season to Rayo Vallecano. Madrid are not in contention for the Copa del Rey. The next season starts after World Cup 2022. Real Madrid will be looking to win the title. Barcelona crashed and burned in Champions league group stage. Carlo Ancelotti's side cannot afford to take their eye off the ball in games like this one.

Real Valladolid are 12th in La Liga, six points above the relegation zone. They won promotion back to the top flight in 2021/22. Valldolid have been yo-yoing between La La and Segunda Division recently. The priority for the club is to stay in the league and extend their stay by another year. They are the fourth-lowest scorers in their division and only three teams give up better chances.

Real Valladolid's season could be defined by their home form. Madrid have not played well for much of the La Liga campaign so far. Karim Benzema missed the World Cup through injury. Valldolid will hope that there are signs of rust from whoever starts for Madrid. Ancelotti's side should make a statement of intent by winning by a two-goal margin or more.
