Command Analysis

Real Madrid

Current form
The start of the new season in La Liga was unsuccessful for Real Madrid – a 1:1 draw against Mallorca was frankly disappointing, and the sending off of Ferland Mendy at the very end of the match will force them to look for a replacement on the left flank of defense. Carlo Ancelotti has already spoken about the workload on the players, due to the abundance of tournaments in which they will have to play and even jokingly suggested "taking an extra vacation" in the middle of the season. At the same time, the " https://www.realmadrid.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">creamy " have already 28 games without defeat. In addition, in seven of the last eight face-to-face duels, the "whites" did not concede, which gives hope to the numerous fans of Madrid.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out of action are Alaba (knee injury), Camavinga (knee injury), Bellingham (muscle injury), Vallejo (bruise) and Mendy (red card).
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Madrid have kept seven clean sheets out of their last eight home games
Madrid should be confident of success given the class and experience of their players, unlike Valladolid, who are unlikely to even be able to keep control of the ball away from the opponent's goal.
- Real Madrid have won their last four home games in La Liga's opening round
For Carlo Ancelotti and his team, it makes no difference where they win, as they proved last year and will try to repeat this brilliant result in the new championship.
- Rodrigo managed to score for Madrid in the first round
Rodrigo is used to scoring quickly, with each of his last four goals for club and country coming before the 20th minute.
Probable line-up : Courtois - Modric, Rudiger, Militao, Carvajal - Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo - Mbappe, Vinicius.

Real Valladolid

Current form
Valladolid come into this match in the unusual position of being top of the table after a 1-0 win over Espanyol on Monday. The visitors finished second in Segunda last year and also made a winning start. In addition, having signed striker Juanmi Latasa from Madrid, they are still looking back on that August and are looking forward to this season. A win here seems unlikely, as the Violet and Whites have not beaten Madrid since November 2008 and their last away win in the capital was in May 2000.
Disqualifications and injuries
Anuar (hernia) and Kennedy (injury) will not be able to take part in the game.
Interesting trends for betting
- Valladolid have scored in their last nine games in a row
These statistics also include friendly games, but for such a club the figure is very solid, considering how reluctant the Segunda representatives are to attack after the first goal is scored. In addition, they finally managed to rent Amat Ndiaye, who often either opened the scoring or scored the decisive goal in his high-scoring matches.
- Five of the last six head-to-head encounters have ended in a goalless first half.
Madrid presents an opponent from a different weight class, which will not require additional motivation for the players who want to prove to the fans and to themselves that they are capable of something.
- Valladolid have not won their first away league game of the season since 2019/20
Today, "Pucela" can perform a feat and win, for which the team needs to jump above its head. Perhaps, for some time, the guests will be able to hold off the onslaught of the famous opponent, but no one believes in it
Probable line-up : Ferreira-Rosa, Torres, Boyomo, Comert, Ruiz-Perez, Chuki, Koke-Salla, Ndiaye.

1.65Tip and bets
We believe that any other outcome than a confident victory for the champion will be a complete failure for the capital club. All the players of the "whites" are in excellent shape, and the loss of tournament points only motivates the capital players to win more. In addition, we do not rule out a rout of the newcomer to the top league, which by all indicators is a head weaker than Real Madrid.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2) on Real Madrid for 1.83
Bet on total
In the first game, we did not expect beautiful and productive football from Madrid. Yes, today, most likely, there will be no Bellingham, but Mbappe is full of desire and strength - the Frenchman is ready to prove that he did not move to Spain in vain. In addition, in the last face-to-face game, six goals were scored, which we expect today.
Betting Tip - total over 4.5 goals and we bet on it for 3.40
Bet on corners
The abundance of attacks and desire to get to the goal will likely bring many set pieces. In addition, we believe that breakthroughs through the flanks will lead to a large number of corner kicks.
Betting Tip - total corners over nine. This option can be found for 1.94
