📊 Form Guide

Real Valladolid
LLLLLL 🚑
Real Valladolid will be hoping to bounce back here after a 0-1 La Liga loss in their previous game against Girona FC.
In that match, Real Valladolid had 48% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. On the other side, Girona got 13 shots at goal with 5 on target. Cristhian Stuani (80') scored for Girona FC.
Real Valladolid have not been the best at stopping their opponents lately, but they have also managed to convert their own chances into goals. Over their last 6 matches, Real Valladolid have seen their goal breached in 6 of them while also getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those games. That trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.
Going into this encounter, Real Valladolid are without a win at home for the past 8 matches in the league. Such a poor run.
Alaves
LDWDLW ⚖
Alaves will come into the game after a 1-0 La Liga win to beat Valencia in their previous game.
In that game, Alaves had 42% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Alaves was Joan Jordán (79'). Valencia got 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
The strike force from Alaves have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past 6 clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 3. In those matches, Babazorros have also seen the overall goal aggregate against them equal 3.
Going into this contest, Alaves are without a win away from home in their last 2 league games.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Looking at their most recent head to head clashes stretching back to 09/11/2019 tells us that Real Valladolid have won 2 of these games and Alaves 4, with the number of draws being 0.
A combined total of 13 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 4 from Pucela and 9 belonging to Babazorros. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.17.
The last league contest featuring the two was La Liga match day 10 on 18/10/2024 when it ended Alaves 2-3 Real Valladolid.
In that match, Alaves managed 62% possession and 10 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The goalscorers were Toni Martínez (6') and Kike García (97').
Real Valladolid got 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Mamadou Sylla (17'), Selim Amallah (72') and Anuar Tuhami (76') scored.
The referee was Mario Melero López.
🗞️ Team News: Real Valladolid
We think that Pucela will possibly use a 3-2-4-1 system for this one featuring Karl Hein, Iago Parente, Eray Coemert, Cenk Ozkacar, Anuar, Henrique Silva, Chuki, Mario Martin, Florian Grillitsch, Raul Moro and Juanmi Latasa.
ℹ️ Team News: Alaves
We are inclined to think that Babazorros could decide to begin the game with a 4-1-4-1 formation, settling for Antonio Sivera, Nahuel Tenaglia, Facundo Garces, Santiago Mourino, Manuel Sanchez, Antonio Blanco, Carlos Vicente, Jon Guridi, Ander Guevara, Carles Alena and Kike Garcia.
💡 Prediction
In this game, Real Valladolid will likely be able to score against this Alaves side, but a single goal is unlikely to be enough to give them the result that they want.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a narrow 1-2 advantage for Alaves after 90 minutes. It’s a very tough call.
