The Matchday 27 clash in La Liga between Valencia and Valladolid will take place on March 8 at the Mestalla Stadium. Valencia vs. Valladolid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Valencia
Valencia has not tasted victory in their last three league matches. During this stretch, they suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat at home to Atletico, and drew away with Villarreal (1-1) and Osasuna (3-3). Carlos Corberan's side remains in the relegation zone, but they are only behind Las Palmas, who are in 17th place, on goal difference. Notably, only Valladolid has conceded more goals than Valencia (44 goals) in the current league season.
- At least two goals have been scored in Valencia's last seven La Liga matches.
- In Valencia's last seven home games in La Liga, one team has won with a clean sheet in the first half.
Predicted lineup for Valencia (4-4-2)
Giorgi Mamardashvili – César Tárrega, José Luis Gayà, Dimitri Foulquier, Cristian Mosquera – Diego López, Luis Rioja, Enzo Barrenechea, Iván Jaime – Javi Guerra, Umar Sadiq.
Valladolid
Álvaro Rubio's side could not defeat Las Palmas at home in the last round, drawing 2-2 with their closest rivals. Previously, the club had lost six consecutive La Liga matches. Valladolid is at the bottom of the table, trailing the safety of 17th place by 8 points. The team also leads the league in goals conceded, with 60.
- At least two goals have been scored in 6 of Valladolid's last 7 La Liga matches.
- Valladolid has not scored more than one goal in their last eight away league matches.
- The team has conceded in the second half of their last seven away La Liga matches.

Valencia vs. Valladolid: Match Prediction
Bookmakers are offering record-low odds on a Valencia win, despite the close proximity of the teams in the standings. The hosts of the upcoming match have only five wins, while the visitors have four. I believe Valladolid can pose a challenge to their closest relegation zone neighbor, and if they don't take points, they can at least trouble Valencia's goalkeeper. After all, Carlos Corberan's side also has a weak defense.
Valladolid has conceded in all of their away matches in this La Liga campaign. Notably, they have scored in 3 of their last 4 away league games. Meanwhile, Valencia has conceded in 8 of their last 10 home league matches, while scoring in 5 of their last 7 home games in La Liga. Additionally, both teams have scored in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head encounters at Valencia's ground in the league. Therefore, my prediction: Both Teams to Score – Yes
