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)

Until a month ago, Valladolid seemed more than competitive in the fight for direct placement in LaLiga, but by winning only one point in the previous 4 matches, they completely ruined their position. Not only did they lose the 2nd place, but they fell below the 6th place, which gives the right to participate in the playoff to fill the elite rank. Last season Valladolid was relegated to LaLiga 2 and it seems that the process of getting used to it is still going on. In the last round Valladolid played 0-0 against Elche

For many years, Racing Santander has been outside the elite football events in Spain. In some earlier years, they even competed in the 3rd rank. In the last few years, Racing Santander has stabilized in LaLiga 2 and from time to time there are hints that it might join the fight for the top. Defeats in Cartagena and Eibar in the last two rounds significantly reduced their chances for one of the top positions, but 6th place is only 3 points away.

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
