Real Valladolid vs Real Madrid Prediction
Real Valladolid come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium in Catalonia last weekend. Valladolid had enjoyed two victories in their previous three matches following the appointment of former Mexico national team boss Diego Cocca, who replaced Paolo Pezzolano. They now face a Real Madrid side that started the year with a hard-fought win against Valencia, annihilation at the hands of Barcelona in Saudi Arabia in the Spanish Supercopa final before needing extra-time to defeat Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey. However, they hammered Las Palmas last weekend before then hammering Red Bull Salzburg by five goals to one in the UEFA Champions League in midweek and another comfortable Madrid win is to be expected for this one.
