Valladolid vs Fuenlabrada Predictions

• Valladolid have lost just once on home soil this season, against fellow promotion contenders Tenerife.
• Fuenlabrada, meanwhile, have managed just 1 win on their travels, at rock-bottom Alcorcon, and are winless in their last 6 games.
• However, only 2 of Fuenlabrada’s 15 league games have been decided by more than a 1 goal margin.

Ronaldo’s Charges Looking to Bounce Back

Having been relegated from La Liga last term, Real Valladolid are unsurprisingly amongst the favourites for promotion from the Spanish second tier. The white and violets, owned by Brazilian legend Ronaldo since 2018, sit 5th in the Segunda Division, just 3 points behind the automatic promotion spots.

The hosts have lost just once on home soil so far this term, but their recent results have been somewhat mixed; Valladolid have enjoyed important wins over promotion rivals Eibar and Sporting Gijon recently, but were also hammered 4-1 at second-bottom Amorebieta just over a week ago.

Stubborn Visitors Should Keep it Tight

Their visitors Fuenlabrada, meanwhile, are winless in their last 6 matches, and their only away success of the campaign came at rock-bottom Alcorcon back in August.

While Valladolid look a strong bet to earn the spoils on Saturday, one shouldn’t expect their visitors to roll over easily; only 2 of Fuenlabrada’s 15 league games have been decided by more than a one goal margin. Their last two outings saw them lose narrowly at fourth-placed Las Palmas when reduced to 10 men, and earn an impressive goalless draw against second-placed Eibar.

With Fuenlabrada currently combining the league’s fifth strongest defence with its joint-worst attack, expect the promotion-chasing hosts to edge a low-scoring affair on Saturday afternoon, with a 1-0 Valladolid triumph a strong correct score prediction.
