Real Valladolid Preview – Can Valladolid prevent falling further down the table by recording a second win in eight matches?
You get the feeling that the second half of the season is going to be a real struggle for Real Valladolid. They currently sit in 16th spot and just two points above the relegation zone having won only once in their last seven league games. Valladolid were pretty comfortable last season, finishing in 13th and six points better off than third bottom Leganes.
Head coach Sergio has been in the job for over two years so knows the club well and is also vastly experienced in terms of the league, so will be well aware of what challenges lie ahead between now and the end of the season.
Huesca Preview – Will Hesuca not only find their first win of 2021 but also their first league goals?
La Liga continues to be a real challenge for Huesca following their promotion last season. With just one win all season they find themselves on the bottom of the table and in real danger of an immediate return to Segunda. It’s no surprise considering the size of the club and 2018/19 being the first time they have played in the top-flight. It’s commendable they were able to return at the first time of asking.
Their only win to date is a 1-0 victory against Alaves – coincidentally on the same date that their next opponents last recorded a win in the league.

As much as wins have been hard to come by there have been plenty of draws which shows they are competitive but probably lacking a bit of quality. Five of their 10 draws have come on their travels including at Villareal, Valencia and Granada, but they have lost their last three on their travels.
Scoring goals is definitely an issue for Huesca and that’s particularly relevant this in 2021. They’ve scored the fewest in La Liga overall (14) and haven’t scored in any of their four league games this calendar year. They have to improve that if they are to stand any chance.
Real Valladolid vs Huesca Betting Advice
It goes without saying this is a match that not only can either team afford to lose, but it’s also one which both will feel they have to be winning for their respective chances of staying in the division. Real Valladolid will not be favourites against many teams so this is a rarity, whilst the visitors can get to within touching distance of their opponents should they pick up a first away win of the league campaign.
The first meeting of the season was an entertaining 2-2 draw back in October with Huesca coming back from two goals down to rescue a point.
Key Facts – Real Valladolid vs Huesca Betting Tip
- Real Valladolid are just two points off the relegation zone having won only one of their last seven

Although Huesca do struggle for goals they have netted in seven of their 10 away games which is also the same percentage in Valladolid’s 10 home matches. Take both teams to score as a result and hope we see a similar game to their meeting earlier in the season.
