Now, let’s take a closer look at some betting angles for Saturday’s La Liga fixture:
Real Valladolid v FC Barcelona – Saturday, 8pm
- It’s been a terrible season for Real Valladolid, with fans turning on their ownership (Ronaldo R9), their relegation has already been confirmed after picking up just sixteen points, leaving th White and Violets eighteen points from safety with just five games to go.
- It’s always going to be tough to pick up points when you’ve conceded a massive eighty-one goals in thirty-three games, Real Betis conceded eighty-nine goals back in 1968, i think Valladolid will surpass that.
- Real Valladolid actually beat Barcelona here in May 2023 although that remains their only victory against the footballing giants since 2014, it’s hard to put a case together for them in this one on Saturday evening.
——————————– - The quadruple is still on for Barcelona, having already won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, they are also just five games from claiming their twenty-eighth La Liga title and are still in their UCL tie against Inter.
- Barcelona had to come from behind twice against Inter in the UEFA Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, they looked very vulnerable not only on the counter-attack but also from crosses, something Hansi Flick will need to address ahead of their trip to the San Siro on Tuesday.
- With the focus returning back to La Liga, victory here would put the pressure on Real Madrid ahead of their game on Sunday, they’ll have put a seven point gap between their rivals, making it another must win for Madrid.
Prediction: Barcelona To Win To Nil, Real Valladolid 0-4 Barcelona.
