Match prediction for Valladolid x Santander

The teams Valladolid and Santander will face off at the Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla in a showdown of the 20th round of the Liga Adelante. Contrary to expectations, the recent direct encounters favor Valladolid, as they have won the last 2 matchups between these teams.

Analysis of Valladolid

The home team is currently in 12th place, with 24 points after securing 6 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses. In their penultimate match, they lost at home to FC Andorra (0-1). In the last match, they suffered another defeat away to SD Eibar (0-3). In the last 10 home games of the league, Valladolid has recorded 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, earning 12 points from 30 possible. The most common outcome at halftime in their home matches is 0-1, which has occurred in 4 of their 10 games. Their defensive strength has not been reliable, conceding goals in 9 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In 19 games, they conceded the first goal 10 times, managing to turn the score around only once.

Real Valladolid is going through a negative streak, adding another defeat with the recent loss to Eibar by 3-0. The team typically adopts a well-defined 4-2-3-1 formation, with Juanmi Latasa leading the offensive line and serving as the primary reference in attacking plays. Behind him, Stipe Biuk, Chuki, and Peter Federico work to activate the team in the opposing half, moving frequently and taking advantage of spaces between defense lines to keep the game dynamic and hard to mark. Midfielder Stanko Juric and forward Julien Ponceau are suspended and will miss the next match.

Analysis of Santander

With 11 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, the visiting team sits at the top of the table with 37 points. In their last match, they drew with Huesca (1-1) away, following a previous home match that also ended in a draw against Leganés (1-1). In their last 9 away matches in the league, Santander has recorded 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, earning 17 points from 27 possible. The team allowed goals from opposition players in 7 of their last 10 matches, which indicates a lack of solid defensive play, but their attack has scored regularly, as they have netted at least once in each of their last 10 matches in this competition. Their away games show a tendency for high-scoring outcomes, with 7 out of 9 finishing with over 2.5 goals. In 19 matches in the Liga Adelante, they conceded the first goal 8 times but managed to turn the score around in 5 instances.

The Racing Santander continues to perform well despite their defensive issues, recently tying 1-1 away with Huesca, thanks to a goal from Jeremy Arévalo. The team tends to organize its game in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Asier Villalibre in the forward position. Behind him, Iñigo Vicente, Andrés Martín, and Peio Canales create opportunities, working with high mobility, switching positions, seeking penetrations, and speeding up ball circulation to maintain pressure in the opponent’s half. It is expected that the entire squad will be available for the next match.
