Valladolid vs Osasuna prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-04-19 12:00.
[p]It’s been a disastrous season for Real Valladolid, whose measly 16 points from their 31 league games this season is their lowest-ever tally at this stage of a La Liga campaign in their history. It’s a matter of weeks before their relegation back to the second tier is confirmed, which will mark a second successive demotion from the top-flight after suffering the same fate in 2022/23. [/p]
[p]Possessing both the division’s worst attacking and defensive records has made their fate inevitable, with the 73 goals they’ve conceded the second most of any side at this stage in the history of La Liga! With 13 of their 16 points coming on their own turf, at least the home fans haven’t seen the worst of their side, albeit no side has suffered more home defeats in the division pre-round (eight). [/p]
[p]Respite could be on the way as Osasuna visit, given that no fixture to be played 15+ times in La Liga this century has had a higher percentage of draws than this H2H (54%, 13/24). Los Rojillos have alleviated any lingering relegation fears by avoiding defeat in their last three matches (W1, D2), with last week’s 2-1 win over Girona ending an eight-match winless run in the league (D5, L3).[/p]
[p]The visitors are now aiming to win back-to-back La Liga matches for only the second time this season, and ought to be confident of doing so having avoided defeat in nine of their last ten top-flight visits to Valladolid (W4, D5). Osasuna haven’t conceded a single goal in their last four matches against Valladolid in La Liga either – their longest such H2H run in the top-flight. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: No Valladolid player has scored more than Mamadou Sylla’s four league goals this term, though his last two have come in a pair of defeats by an aggregate score of 11-3! Osasuna talisman Ante Budimir scored and assisted against Girona, and netted the winner from the penalty spot in this season’s reverse fixture. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Osasuna have scored a league-high 19% of their goals from penalties this season.[/p]
