Real Valladolid vs Leganes Live Stats & Betting Odds
Real Valladolid Prediction – Can Real Valladolid bounce back?
Friday night’s hosts, Real Valladolid, head into this important clash against Leganes having gone without a win in the Spanish top flight from their last 6 matches overall which has left the home side in 14th place in the La Liga table.
Recent defeats to Deportivo Alaves, Sevilla and Getafe have been disappointing setbacks for the hosts, but it should be noted that the latter two losses came against sides that sit in 3rd and 6th place respectively in the Spanish top flight.
Real Valladolid have also picked up points in draws though with Celta Vigo, Real Sociedad and Valencia which have helped the hosts keep the bottom three at arms length and they still possess a useful 6-point buffer above third from bottom club, Celta Vigo.
An overall home record of 2-5-1 8/4 looks solid rather than inspiring, with their one defeat to date being a 1-0 loss to Sevilla, but wins against Eibar and Mallorca have been complemented by notable draws with Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad.
Leganes Prediction – Can Leganes open account on the road?
Despite winning 2 of their last 3 matches overall in La Liga in recent weeks, Friday night’s visitors, Leganes, still occupy a place in the relegation zone as they prepare for this trip to face Real Valladolid on the back of a couple of much-needed victories.
Recent wins against third from bottom Celta Vigo 3-2 and a 2-0 win over bottom club Espanyol have helped ease Leganes’ relegation fears and although they’re second from bottom in La Liga, they’re now only 2 points adrift of forth from bottom side, Mallorca, and safety.
However, all 3 of Leganes’s wins to date in this season’s La Liga have been registered on home turf at their Estadio Municipal de Butarque, leaving the visitors still yet to taste victory on their travels in the Spanish top flight with a poor away record of 0-3-5 4/14 to their name.
In addition to possessing the lowest goal tally away from home in La Liga this season to date, Leganes have managed to win just 2 of their last 15 matches away from home in the Spanish top flight.
Key-Facts – Real Valladolid vs Leganes
