Top Football Bookmakers

Real Valladolid have a poor recent record in La Liga, winning just once in eight outings in the Spanish top-flight. Last time out, the visitors drew 0-0 at home against fellow strugglers Villarreal.

One of Real Valladolid’s main problems of late has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in three of their last four league outings. They have failed to win any of their last four away games in the league.
