Real Valladolid form and stats

Real Valladolid must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three La Liga 2 games here at Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla.

Valladolid manager J. Rojo Martín and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Ponferradina (placed 2nd) in the La Liga 2. Midfield player Roque Mesa got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Mesa dribled past the opponent 7 of 8 times and had 36 successful passes (of 44 total).

Ahead of that match, Valladolid won a home game hosting Alcorcon (2-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Valladolid have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost three.

Valladolid are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. From these home matches, Valladolid have conceded only 2 goals.

Málaga form and stats

0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Málaga playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on J. López Menéndez, the Málaga manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Málaga are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the La Liga 2 against Fuenlabrada (placed 12th). Dani Martín (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.02. Martín stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Sporting Gijon's place.

Málaga are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, three draws and six defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

The attacking power of Málaga when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Málaga's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 10 goals in 4 travels.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the last ten meetings between these two participants are: zero wins for Valladolid, six draws and four wins for Málaga. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
