Real Valladolid vs Almeria Prediction

The hosts have struggled on their return to the top flight, scoring just once in three games. They have also conceded eight goals in this period and might struggle here.

La Union sold striker Umar Sadiq on deadline day, and his absence might impact their performance. As Almeria are winless at Valladolid since 2005, that only adds to their woes. A goalless draw could ensue.

Prediction: Real Valladolid 0-0 Almeria
