Real Valladolid vs Villarreal Prediction and Betting Tips | October 26th 2024

Real Valladolid and Villarreal get round nine of La Liga underway when they square off at the José Zorrilla Stadium on Saturday. Paulo Pezzolano’s men have failed to win their last four home games against the Yellow Submarine and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.

Real Valladolid picked up a much-needed victory last weekend when they fought back from behind to secure a 3-2 win over 10-man Alaves at the Estadio de Mendizorroza.

Before that, Pezzolano’s side were on a run of nine back-to-back games without a win across all competitions, losing seven and claiming two draws since late August.

Valladolid have picked up two wins and two draws from their 10 La Liga games this season to collect eight points and sit 18th in the table, level on points with 17th-placed Leganes.

Villarreal, on the other hand, failed to return to winning ways last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Getafe after conceding an 87th-minute equalizer at the Estadi de la Ceràmica.

This followed a 2-0 loss against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on October 5 which saw the Yellow Submarine’s run of two back-to-back league wins come to an end.

Villarreal have enjoyed a solid start to the 2024-25 La Liga campaign, picking up 18 points from 10 matches to sit fourth in the table, two points off third-placed Atletico Madrid.
