Valladolid vs Sporting Gijon Predictions

• Real Valladolid have won five of their last seven league games, drawing one and losing one.
• Valladolid have won their last seven home league games, conceding just two goals in the process.
• Only six teams in the Spanish Segunda division have scored fewer goals than Sporting Gijon’s 26 this season.

Valladolid imperious at home

Real Valladolid are chasing promotion back to La Liga, and have built their fine recent form upon a superb home record. The White and Violets, owned by Brazilian striking legend Ronaldo, have won their last seven home league games, keeping five clean sheets and conceding just twice during that run.

Valladolid have also won five of their last seven league games, and only five teams in the 22-team Segunda division boast a better defensive record. At home, their rearguard has been even more fearsome; Valladolid have only conceded six goals in 12 home league games this term.

Visiting Sporting Gijon, meanwhile, are on a strong run of their own, going six league games unbeaten since losing to Las Palmas in early December. However, they have only won one of their last seven away league games, and have only found the net six times during those recent road trips.

Back a home shutout as Valladolid chase automatic promotion

Valladolid claimed a 2-1 victory away at Sporting Gijon earlier this season, and will be heavily fancied to maintain their superb home record with another win on Friday.

However, to secure additional value, punters are advised to back one of the division’s best defences to win to nil, with only six teams having scored fewer goals than Sporting Gijon this campaign.

Valladolid have posted back-to-back 1-0 wins at home, and backing them to make it a treble could prove a decent correct score prediction.
