Real Valladolid vs Elche Prediction

Blanquivioletas have seen a sudden drop in form recently, suffering three defeats in a row while also failing to score in these losses. They are unbeaten in their last 11 home meetings against the visitors, so that bodes well for them.

Los Franjiverdes have scored at least one goal in their last four away games at Valladolid and should be able to find the back of the net in this match. They have scored at least one goal in their last three league outings as well.

Though the hosts have dominated proceedings against southern rivals, considering their current form, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
