Valladolid vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting tips
Pure relegation battle in La Liga, already on matchday 13! The clash between Real Valladolid and Osasuna is already an important match for both teams. A look at the table in La Liga shows that the 18th receives the 19th. There is not much more to say about the importance of this game.
Before the match Valladolid vs. Osasuna, the odds of the best bookmakers show that the host has a slight advantage. The quota situation is anything but clear. This is also due to the fact that both teams are struggling with problems and only have five wins together. Statistical differences are in the range of nuances.
Valladolid is a little more under pressure at home and is hoping to overtake their direct rivals in the table. The kick-off at the Nuevo Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla is on Friday evening at 20:00 p.m.
Valladolid :
If you’re in 19th place with twelve games in your account, then the season so far has been anything but satisfactory. In the last few weeks, however, a slightly positive trend can be seen. Seven points from the last four games are a decent result. Before this small series, there was not a single league win this season. In addition, the defeat on the last day of the match against Atletico Madrid was bearable.
Before the game Valladolid vs. Osasuna show the odds that the hosts are the easy favorites in this game.
The problems can also be proven statistically. The fact that there has only been one player at Valladolid who has scored more than one goal speaks for itself.
In addition, the club has not yet been able to keep the “zero” on the defensive in a single league game. A lack of penetration and a vulnerable defensive do not go well together when fighting relegation.
The situation in La Liga is not yet precarious because the teams in the table are close together. Valladolid in 19th place and FC Barcelona in ninth place are only separated by four points. The good performances of the last few weeks are encouraging, even if the program will be very exhausting in the coming games.
The last two home games they remained unbeaten, which is also a good sign before the direct duel with Osasuna in the relegation battle.
The personnel situation at the hosts of coach Sergio is relaxed. Kiko Olivas is absent from the defensive center, otherwise all players are ready for action.
Osasuna :
The guests from Pamplona are in 18th place in the table and have suffered two bitter defeats in a row. Against Betis there was a 2-0 at home, at FC Barcelona even a 4-0 before. Osasuna is therefore not in good shape. The last win came in October when the Athletic Club from Bilbao were defeated 1-0.
In the last five games there was only one point and that was against bottom group Huesca. That’s why the game against Valladolid is so important for Osasuna, the turnaround is needed. Before the game Valladolid vs. Osasuna show the betting odds that the guests go into the game as a slight outsider. That fits last week’s trend.
The problem is obvious if you look at the statistics so far. Osasuna has only scored eight goals in eleven games played and together with Eibar is the worst offensive in La Liga. Defensively the situation is better with 15 goals conceded, there are some teams here with a worse record.
Both teams still have some catching up to do on the offensive, and Osasuna is also lacking a clip. With two goals, Ruben Garcia is the best league shooter among the guests.
Coach Jagoba Arrasate will again rely on his typical formation with two strikers in the game at Valladolid and hope that a step forward will be achieved. In the previous five away games, the yield with a win and a draw is still reasonably decent, but only two goals were scored.
There are not many staff concerns, but the 26-year-old attacker Chimy Avila, who is in top form and one of the best offensive players among the guests from Pamplona, is still missing. But with his cruciate ligament rupture, he will still fail well into spring.
