Valladolid vs Alaves Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since the two teams can be neutralized during a large part of the 90 minutes of play. For this reason and knowing that the “blanquivioletas” are combative and competitive in the José Zorrilla, we believe that an equality is the most interesting result to bet. Remember that the “blanquiazules” are still combative thanks to the work of coach Abelardo. It paints to be a closed duel in the midfield, being feasible that the mark prevails to the good soccer.
Valladolid:
The picture “blanquivioleta” arrives toned to this duel after equaling 0-0 against Getafe as a visitor, getting to add his second point in the general table. The team has not yet won in the championship, but has proven to be combative and uncomfortable to overcome. The positive thing about his league start is to have achieved interesting things, without having great players in his starting lineup. Suffice it to know that he already stole two equalities away from home to corroborate this claim.
As a local in the José Zorrilla, Valladolid already played a game and the result was negative for their interests (defeat 0-1 against Barcelona after equaling 0-0 the initial stage). Of course, the team fought until the final whistle, demanding the maximum to its rival. Unfortunately for the “blanquivioletas”, the VAR canceled what could have been the final 1-1. For this match it is expected that coach Sergio Gonzalez try to repeat what was done against the Catalans, trying to repeat the collective pressure at the time of attack. Of course, the owners need to be fine in the face of the goal, since they can not dominate the process and miss the situations they can develop.
Alavés:
The “blanquiazules” arrive toned to this duel after beating Espanyol 2-1, after losing 0-1 partially. The performance of the team has improved in these last two dates, reaching to add 4 points of 6 possible. Previously he had equalized 0-0 against the always complicated Betis de Quique Setién. In general, it remains a compact and rough set in its actions. However, it has what it takes to compete the matches until the end.
As a visitor, Alavés already played a match in this Santander League and the result he obtained was bad for his league aspirations (3-0 defeat against Barcelona after equaling 0-0 the initial stage). If we analyze the performance of the “blanquiazules” in the Nou Camp, we can conclude that he stopped well during 60 ‘minutes of play. Then came Messi’s goal and with it, the total disorder. For this exit it is expected that the technician Abelardo risks a little more, since it will collide against a rival of similar level. Yes, logic indicates that advance and backward in block, trying not to lose the balance between lines.
In the last 3 and a half years, Valladolid and Alavés have met 3 times in the José Zorrilla. These were the results of those matches: Victory 2-0 of Valladolid in January 2015, win 1-2 of Alavés in December 2015 and 1-1 draw in August 2016 for a friendly club. Apparently, every time both teams collide, there are always goals in between. Of course, they have not faced each other for some years, since the “blue and white” promoted to the first division.
