Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Real Valladolid and Valencia face each other at Estadio Jose Zorilla on day 17 of the new La Liga campaign. La Pucela aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Las Palmas and a win over Valencia will see them put an end to their three-game losing run. Defender Eray Comert serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while midfielder Selim Amallah continues to miss out with injury.
Los Che, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Mallorca and Valencia. As both Valencia and Real Valladolid are eager to return to winning ways in the Spanish top flight, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting in the Spanish top flight Valencia defeated Valladolid 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
Highlighted Team (Valencia):
Founded on March 18, 1919, Valencia FC are a Spanish football club that compete in La Liga. Los Che play their home games at Estadio de Mestalla, the stadium which was opened back in May, 1923. The capacity of the venue is 50,000. Seeing that bats are quite common in Valencia, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Bats.
Valencia made it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2000, 2001), but they were beaten in the title games by Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen respectively. The Spanish club, though, did well to win the UEFA Cup title in the 2003/2004 season, with the team beating Marseille in the final of the competition.
A number of top-class footballers were part of the club in the past, with the likes of Pablo Aimar, Ruben Baraja, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, John Carew and Gaizka Mendieta all playing for the Estadio de Mestalla outfit. Valencia main colors are white and black, whilst they often where orange jerseys and shorts when playing on the travels.
