Real Valladolid form and stats

Real Valladolid, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in La Liga, have collected 9 points from their La Liga home games so far after 2-3-2.

Valladolid manager S. González Soriano and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Sevilla (placed 6th) in the La Liga. Before that match, a Copa Del Rey win away at Cantolagua.

Valladolid are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. 10 goals have been conceded.

Barcelona form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Barcelona playing as the away team in the La Liga this season. Barcelona seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Barcelona played 2-2 against Valencia in their previous match. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Real Sociedad.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Barcelona have scored 5 goals in 5 league games away. As opposed to that, Barcelona have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Valladolid, zero draws and nine wins for Barcelona. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
