Real Valladolid vs Levante Predictions and Betting Tips

We kick off this week's action this Friday in the LaLiga Santander as Real Valladolid do battle with Levante. Can the home side register their third consecutive league win against Levante? Read on for our experts' take on this.

Levante haven't lost in their last three league meetings with La Blanquivioletas. What's more, they haven't conceded in those games either which is quite a stellar defensive record. Both sides played out a 0-0 draw in their most recent game. This is most likely not going to be the case this Friday given both sides' defensive struggles.

Back-to-back wins for the hosts

Prior to the game before the international break, Real Valladolid was sitting at the bottom of the table. However, a 2-1 win at home to Bilbao followed up by an impressive performance that yielded a 3-1 win away at Granada shot them up and out of the relegation zone. Sergio's new-found strike partnership of Guardiola and de Sousa seems to be doing a pretty fine job and will be keen on making it three from three for the hosts.

Still in search of their first win in seven

Levante have played out four consecutive 1-1 draw in the LaLiga Santander. in two of those games, they pretty much lost two points given that their opponents played most of the game with a man less. Their form has been poor in general as they're still in search of their first victory since that 3-1 win against Osasuna back in late September. As of now, they are in the relegation zone, just two points behind their Friday's opponents thus setting up this encounter nicely.

We expect to see goals at both ends with both sides struggling to keep clean sheets. Valladolid and Levante kick of this game in 17th and 18th position respectively and as such, we expect to see a closely contested affair. However, given Valladolid recent form coupled with Levante being really tough to beat, we believe a draw is on the cards. For our correct score prediction, a 1-1 draw is looking very likely.
