Valladolid vs Cordoba — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.75: Valladolid barely score. They have managed less than a goal a game across their last 15, and they arrive with six players unavailable. Alex Balboa is suspended, Dani Perez and Thiago Ojeda are injured, and two more are away with their countries. A team that blunt, missing that many, does not suddenly start trading goals. Valladolid have won 3, tied 3 and lost 9 of their last 15, and their games have almost 2 goals in them on average. Only 3 of those 15 games had 3 or more goals. Cordoba are the side with the threat, but they are all over the place on the road. They have won three and lost three of their six away trips. Valladolid have been steadier at Zorrilla, letting in under a goal a game across six home games, so they can hang around in a night like this. Expect them to sit deep and survive for long spells. A 0-1 Cordoba win is the most likely ending, and one goal deciding it is exactly the kind of game we want. The warning is real, though. Cordoba's own games have 3 goals in them on average, and 9 of their last 14 had 3 or more. The last 6 meetings between these two averaged almost 3 goals as well. We still think this one stays quiet.
