29/12/22 4249

Real Valladolid and Real Madrid will restart their respective La Liga seasons on Friday at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium.

Madrid go into the game in second place in the La Liga table. Los Blancos will restart the season two points behind first-place Barcelona in the La Liga title race. Carlo Ancelotti’s team had a slip-up just before the 2022 FIFA World Cup break, failing to win two of their final three games.

Real Valladolid are 12th in the standings ahead of the weekend. Los Blanquivioletas were up and down in their last six games, winning three times and losing three times. Valladolid will restart the season six points ahead of the relegation zone.

Valladolid and Madrid have not met since the 2020-21 La Liga season. Madrid did the double over Valladolid that season with two identical 1-0 wins.

Real Valladolid picked up nine points from the last six games in the league. Los Blanquivioletas scored seven goals and conceded eight times across the last six games. Valladolid are on a three-game winning streak at home. They have won four, drawn two, and lost one game at home this season.

Real Madrid took 13 points from the last six matches in La Liga. Los Blancos scored 14 times and conceded seven goals across the six matches. Madrid are the joint-best away team in La Liga this season with six wins and one defeat from seven games.

Juan José Rojo Martín has two players on the injury list for Real Valladolid going into Friday night. Defender Jawad El Yamiq is suffering from a hamstring injury and is set to miss the game. Midfielder Kenedy is a doubt with a groin injury.

Ancelotti has no fresh injury issues, but he could be missing players following the World Cup. Karim Benzema is reportedly fit after missing the World Cup due to a leg injury.

Madrid are led in goals by Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde with six goals apiece. Ancelotti will be able to play Benzema through the middle after being forced to use Rodrygo as the central striker in Real Madrid’s last match.

Real Madrid post five wins and one draw against Valladolid in the teams’ last six head-to-head encounters.

Madrid should post a sixth win from the last seven games against Real Valladolid. Los Blancos should post a 3-1 win at the end of full-time. La Liga has had 51% of its matches in 2022-23 finish with over 2.5 goals. In addition, 51% of matches in La Liga have finished with both teams scoring.
