Valladolid
Real Madrid will look to bounce back from a loss in “El Clasico” when they welcome Real Valladolid to their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and, it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Nacho Fernandez is banned for the match, while goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois misses out with a muscle problem. David Alaba should recover in time to face La Pucela.
Real Valladolid, meanwhile, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Athletic Club before the international break, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. As for the visiting team, defender Javi Sanchez is banned for the match, while all Selim Amallah, Jordi Masip, and Anuar remain in the treatment room. In the first half of the season Real Madrid recorded a routine 2-0 win over Real Valladolid.
