Real Madrid v Real Valladolid Betting Tips
Real Madrid v Real Valladolid Match Preview
Carlo Ancelotti’s charges, who lifted their first piece of silverware of the campaign with a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the Super Cup, were held to a 1-1 draw on the opening day of the campaign against Mallorca.
Rodrygo gave Los Blancos the lead, but a strike from Vedat Muriqi eight minutes into the second half ensured the points were shared.
In stark contrast, Real Valladolid who bounced back up last term at the first time of asking, pinched all three points against Espanyol, and they may well be looking forward to a trip to the Bernabeu.
Anyway, we are ready for what promises to be an exhilarating La Liga season.
And to whet your appetite for the second matchday, I have provided a couple of customary Real Madrid v Real Valladolid betting tips for you to muse on ahead of kick-off.
Los Blancos to return to winning ways
Being the hunted or having a target on the back comes with the territory of being Real Madrid, but they thrive in a pressure-cooker environment.
Although there are defensive injuries to the likes of David Alaba as well as a suspension for Ferland Mendy, Real usually find a way to win.
While they weren’t at full strength against Mallorca, Ancelotti will no doubt have been annoyed with the goal they conceded as they were weak defending a corner.
Anyway, there is a chance to put things right, and Real have been a bogey side for Valladolid.
Real have won all five of their past five meetings with Valladolid, and in four of those clashes, Valladolid have failed to score.
The last time they faced off, Real crushed Valladolid 6-0, and Real were out of sight before half-time, leading 4-0.
While I was initially drawn to the win to nil market, that looks a bit too short, so instead I’m going for Real to win both halves, and Paddy Power has obliged with an 11/10 price.
Kylian Mbappe up and running in style
After netting on his debut for Real Madrid in the Super Cup, Kylian Mbappe’s performance in his maiden La Liga outing against Mallorca was surprising.
Yes, Real were limp throughout, but Mbappe couldn’t influence the game and he was kept quiet.
Mbappe may have joined Real on a free from Paris Saint-Germain, but his value is priceless.
He can turn defenders inside and out and he loves to cut in from the flank before pulling the trigger.
To add some value to my Real Madrid v Real Valladolid betting tips, I’m opting for Mbappe to score with a screamer outside the box. If you fancy that, bet365 is advertising an eye-catching price of 9/1.
