Prediction published on 17/02/2021, 13:51  by Nella Wagah in LaLiga Prediction

Real Valladolid are winless in their last six matches, a run they will look to stem in their La Liga fixture at home to Real Madrid on Saturday. From 23 matches so far, Valladolid have 21 points and in the league standings, are placed 18th, while Real Madrid are second, with 49 points. The hosts had a break from a three-game losing streak in their last match, drawing 1-1-1 with Eibar, the team just above them. That result left Valladolid stuck in the relegation zone, albeit by goal difference and they’ll hope for three points here to help in their race for survival. In La Liga action, Valladolid are unbeaten in six matches while they have one win in the last 10 league matches, and two clean sheets. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Valladolid’s last five league matches at home, but they are winless in four of the five. Their last home game ended in a 3-1 loss to bottom side Huesca and the last time they won a home league game was four match days ago. Then, they beat Osasuna 3-2, which is now their second home win in 11 league matches there. They’ve scored six goals in the last five league matches and conceded nine.

Real Madrid hope to close the gap on league leaders Atletico Madrid, which stands at five points before Atletico’s game against Levante on Wednesday. It hasn’t ben Real’s season entirely; they haven’t had the best of runs and injuries to key players have messed them. Real Madrid have however managed to make something of their below par season and going to this game they’ve scored in seven straight matches. They’ve actually failed to score in just one of their last 16 matches and in four of their last five they’ve scored two or more goals. Karim Benzema has really stepped up for the team, with four goals in the last five matches but a good balance in defence is still needed. Injuries to key defensive players Marcelo and Dani Carvajal will also be felt in this game. While they have scored 11 goals in the last five matches, Real have conceded six. Meanwhile, they’re unbeaten in their last seven away matches in La Liga, with four wins and two clean sheets. The Spanish giants have actually lost once in the last 17 away league matches.
