Real Valladolid had a welcome win over Getafe on Sunday. That took them to 15th in La Liga, two places and two points above visitors Valencia. Valladolid are now two points above the bottom three but have played two games more than Elche. They only won two of their first 12 league games this season but are on a decent run at present with only Barcelona beating them in their last five league fixtures. Valladolid have shown their fighting spirit in past weeks. They had to come from 2-1 down to beat relegation-threatened Osasuna 3-2 at home and got a late equalizer at Sevilla. Home form has produced just two wins out of eight in La Liga this season. They have only scored nine home league goals this season and conceded 13.

Valencia are in deeper relegation trouble and are only a place above the bottom three. They are level on points with Elche but like Valladolid, played two games more. Their most recent league game saw them rescue a home point against Cadiz with a 79th minute equalizer. That draw means it's now eight league games without a win. They probably didn't expect that after beating Real Madrid 4-1 at home in early November. Away form has been poor with just one win out of eight in La Liga. That was a 1-0 win at Real Sociedad way back in September. Three of the last four away league games have been drawn though, including a 2-2 draw at Barcelona. Only nine away league goals have been scored though only in one of their last eight away La Liga games have they failed to score. However, there has only been two clean sheets. A bet on both teams to score is the one to go for here.
