Team Analysis
Real Valladolid will be aiming to make it successive wins in La Liga for the first time since April 2024 when they continue their campaign with a clash against fellow strugglers Espanyol on Friday night. The visitors, who are 19th in the La Liga table, will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 success over Real Betis, while 18th-placed Espanyol played out a 1-1 draw with Leganes in their last clash.

Espanyol have a record of four wins, four draws and 11 defeats from their 19 league matches this season, which has left them in 18th spot in the division, one point behind 17th-placed Alaves and one point ahead of 19th-placed Real Valladolid.

Real Valladolid have won four of the last five La Liga meetings between the two teams, although their last top-flight encounter in Barcelona, which occurred in October 2022, was won 1-0 by the home side.

Odds Analysis
There has not been a La Liga draw between these two sides since October 2018, but we are struggling to separate them on this occasion. Real Valladolid have struggled badly on their travels during the 2024-25 campaign, but we are expecting the White and Violets to be good enough to secure a share of the spoils on Friday night.

Pick: Draw
