Real Valladolid Preview: Desperate for Points
The season has been nothing short of disastrous for Valladolid. Off-field instability, including rumors of owner Ronaldo wanting to sell the club, has translated into poor performances on the pitch.
Since appointing Diego Cocca in December, the team has struggled, with their latest setback being a 2-1 loss to Valencia. They have managed only one point from their last eight matches, making relegation seem inevitable unless drastic improvements occur.

Celta Vigo Preview: Momentum on Their Side
Celta Vigo, in contrast, have been a thrill to watch this season, scoring 81 goals in 27 La Liga matches. Their attacking style under Claudio Giráldez, fueled by young talents and experienced players, has put them in the mix for a European spot.
Fresh off a 2-1 comeback victory against Leganés, with goals from Óscar Mingueza and Alfon, Celta remain unbeaten in their last five games and are eager to keep their momentum.
Key Players & Team News
- Injured: Hugo Álvarez, Williot Swedberg

Real Valladolid vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Valladolid’s only point in their last eight matches came against a struggling Las Palmas, who were down to ten men. Their defensive frailties and lack of attacking output make them vulnerable against an in-form Celta side.
Although Celta have been inconsistent in securing back-to-back wins, this match presents the perfect opportunity to capitalize on Valladolid’s struggles. Expect a Celta victory, possibly by a 2-0 or 3-1 margin.
Betting Tip: Celta to Win
