Real Valladolid vs Racing Santander Prediction 29.01.2024

• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 29.01.2024
• Kickoff: 19:30 UTC / 20:30 CET
• Venue: Estadio José Zorrilla (Valladolid)

Valladolid appeared very competitive in the race for direct placement in LaLiga until a month ago. However, their position was significantly damaged after they managed to secure only one point in their previous four games. Their downfall was not limited to losing 2nd place; they even fell beneath 6th place, which would have allowed them to participate in the playoff for the elite rank. Last season saw Valladolid being relegated to LaLiga 2, and it appears they are still adjusting to this change. Their last game against Elche ended in a 0-0 draw.

Racing Santander has not been a part of Spain’s elite football events for a long time. There were even years when they were relegated to the 3rd tier. However, in recent years, they have managed to maintain their position in LaLiga 2. Occasionally, there are signs that they may vie for the top spot. However, their recent losses in Cartagena and Eibar have considerably diminished their prospects of securing one of the leading positions. They are currently just 3 points away from the 6th spot.

Real Valladolid vs Racing Santander pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Real Valladolid won even 10 points more at home this season than away games. Racing Santander has 13 more points. These are two typical home teams that find it difficult to score away goals. For this reason, Real Valladolid is the favorite here, as a club that has conceded only 8 goals at home this season. Under 2.5 goals were scored in the last 4 matches at this stadium. Racing Santander will not have to play too offensively here and we expect another less effective match
