Valladolid vs Real M. Match preview

Spain - Primera Division: Valladolid vs Real M.

This match will be a good opportunity for Valladolid to take three points against very weak Real Madrid. If it wasn’t for several great strikers, Real should be in the bottom part of the table judging by their performances. Despite the trashing by Barcelona, Valladolid will have something to hope for in this match. The goals conceded in that match are mostly the result of remarkable qualities of Samuel Eto’o and his teammates, rather than poor performance of Valladolid. The Purple ones seemed like the team that knows how to play football.

Real has never been weaker

Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar’s team will probably never have the chance to play such a weak Real Madrid. If it hadn’t been for the tragicomical coach Iturralde Gonzalez, who is an ever lasting star in all his matches in Primera, the Kings wouldn’t have taken more than a point against Malaga. The hosts are aware that defense is the weakest spot of Real Madrid this season. The second Malaga goal is a perfect example of lack of cooperation and understanding between the players in the back line. Mendilibar has at his disposal several excellent players, who have the ability to take the advantage of the gap between defense and midfield area of Real Madrid. Victor Ogbeche and to some extent Goitom, with Canobbio will be a big threat for Iker Casillas’ goal. Valladolid have already beaten one of the title challengers, Sevilla proving that they possess a lot of character. The Castillans are very good at home and they are really tough to beat.

Real will have a difficult task

After the dreadful performance and four scored goals against Malaga, Real Madrid fans don’t know what to think about the players. Every objective observer knows that Iturralde Gonzalez helped them to win the match by wrongfully awarding them the penalty. But, Malaga players are also to blame, having twice conceded right after they had taken the lead. Three conceded goals cannot be disputed, nor can the quality of Gonzalo Higuain, who together with Samuel Eto’o was the hero of the last round. Four goals from the young Argentinean are the only positive thing from that match. If he was the savior against attack-minded Malaga, he is unlikely to be given that much space from very good Valladolid defense. Last season Real defeated Valladolid at home 7:1 but they should also remember the lesson taught to them by Valladolid away from home. Real somehow managed to avoid heavy defeat and drew the mentioned match. Coach Schuster already made some enemies and he is heavily criticized by both the press and fans. It seems that Don ‘Bernardo’ as the Spaniards call him, is struggling to get the best out of his team. He will have the chance to reassure the doubters at Jose Zurrila stadium.

Betting verdict

Based on club’s history, position in the standings and players’ names, Real should be favourites but a lot have changed in Spanish football since the 90’s. ‘Small’ clubs are getting better and Valladolid is one of the old members of Primera and the team that is very good at home. They have already made life worse for Atletico and Sevilla. You should bet on over 2.5.
