Why Home Team Advantage Is Important in Football Betting

Alongside Barcelona, Real Madrid have dominated in La Liga this season. Both sides are locked on the same points at the top of the table, although Madrid have a chance to go three points clear at the top following Barca’s 2-0 defeat at Valencia. Zinedine Zidane’s men have been almost impervious this season, and they have lost just one league match, as the search for an elusive league title goes on.

Real Vallodolid, on the other hand, are on the other end of the spectrum as their visitors. Having narrowly escaped relegation last season, the aim for Sergio Gonzalez’s side was to consolidate their league position this term, but they seem to be heading for another relegation scrap.

Valladolid are placed fifteenth on the league table, and so far, they have garnered twenty-two points from twenty games. The white and violets might be six points above the relegation zone, but that looks set to become worse as they play host to an in-form Madrid side, desperate to end Barca’s monopoly of league titles.

Valladolid vs Real Madrid Team News

Real Valladolid consolidated their position as La Liga’s draw kings with a 0-0 draw against fellow stalemate kings, Osasuna in their last league outing – Both sides have drawn half of their league games this term! Valladolid had the better chances to win this game, and recorded a whopping 21 shots in total! But spirited defending from Osasuna meant they had to settle for just a point.

That was Valladolid’s tenth stalemate in the league this season, and they have now drawn five of their last six league matches! They have won just four matches this term with their last victory coming at the start of November, a stat that must be giving head coach, Gonzalez sleepless nights. However, Valladolid’s flurry of draws is what’s keeping their head above water – barely – and they have to start winning games, if at all they wish to remain in the league next season.

Impressively, Valladolid have kept things pretty tight in defence, and have conceded 23 goals all term – a stat that is even more impressive when you consider the fact that Barcelona have let in 25. In attack, however, they have the joint-second worst record in the league, and have scored a paltry seventeen goals.

Real Madrid extended their impressive eleven-game unbeaten run in the league by brushing Sevilla aside, via a 2-1 victory in their last La Liga run-out. Midfielder, Casemiro’s brace ensured Los Blancos kept the title race very much alive.

The La Liga giants have now won three of their last league matches, and have suffered just one defeat all season. Madrid’s high number of draws – seven – is what’s keeping them behind Barcelona at the moment, although that looks set to change following the latter’s capitulation away at Valencia.

Real Madrid have the best defensive record in the top five European leagues with just thirteen goals conceded all season. Offensively, they are not bad either, and their thirty-eight leagues goals is only bettered domestically by Barcelona, who are miles away with fifty goals.

Los Blancos last won the league title in 2017, and victory here will give their title chase a significant boost.

Valladolid vs Real Madrid Predictions

Although, Valladolid have suffered a remarkably low number of defeats this term, it’d be a huge show of faith not to back Real Madrid to get the victory here. Motivation is quite high in the Madrid camp at the moment, and buoyed by their recent super cup success, they’ll be raring to achieve more; hence, I’d put my money on a Madrid win.
