Real Valladolid vs Leganes Prediction and Betting Tips | August 28th 2024
The action continues in round three of La Liga as Real Valladolid and Leganes square off at the José Zorrilla Stadium on Wednesday. Both sides head into the midweek clash off the back of contrasting results, with Borja Jiménez’s men claiming their first win of the campaign.
Real Valladolid were sent back down to earth in La Liga as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
Before that, Paulo Pezzolano’s side kicked off the 2024-25 La Liga campaign with a 1-0 victory over Espanyol on August 19 courtesy of a first-half strike from Raul Moro.
Valladolid now go up against an opposing side that have failed to win their last six competitive meetings, losing three and claiming three draws since a 1-0 victory in April 2019.
Leganes, on the other hand, secured their first win of the new campaign last weekend when they edged out Las Palmas 2-1 at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
This followed a 1-1 draw with Osasuna in the season curtain-raiser on August 17, when Juan Soriano scored a 79th-minute own goal to cancel out Juan Cruz’s 22nd-minute opener.
Having both secured promotion from La Liga 2 last season, Real Valladolid and Leganes will be looking to grab the bragging rights in their first top-flight meeting since June 2020.
