Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Prediction

Los Blancos have one loss in competitive games since September. They have enjoyed a 24-game unbeaten streak at home in La Liga and have kept seven clean sheets in their last eight games.

Eduardo Camavinga remains sidelined with a knee sprain, while David Alaba remains a long-term absentee. Boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Jude Bellingham suffered a muscle injury in training and won't be back before the international break.

Valladolid, meanwhile, began their campaign with a win and a clean sheet, extending their unbeaten streak in the competition to four games. Nonetheless, they have a poor away record in La Liga, losing six of their nine games, including a 6-0 loss to Madrid in April last year.

Considering Madrid's dominance in the fixture and better squad quality, expect the defending champions to register a comfortable win.
