Valladolid hosts Villarreal in round 36 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, May 13th at Estadio José Zorrilla (Valladolid)
Valladolid is ranked 17th in the LaLiga standings (31 points after 35 matches). The White and Violets have five victories, 16 draws, and 14 defeats. With three rounds to go to the end of the championship, Sergio Gonzalez's men are dangerously close to the relegation zone. The gap from the tailing Huesca and Elche is equal to one point, and the last Eibar is only two points behind. The victory of one of these three teams in the next round will threaten Valladolid with dropping to the danger zone. The recent results of the White and Violets are not encouraging. Gonzalez's team has not won for nine rounds in a row (six draws and three defeats). On May 9, Valladolid interrupted a streak of four draws with an away defeat to Valencia (3-0). Maximiliano Gomez made a double for the Bats, and Thierry Correia scored one more goal.

Villarreal is 7th in the standings (52 points after 35 rounds). The Yellow Submarine has chalked up 13 wins, 13 draws, and nine losses. Unai Emery’s men, who reached the Europa League final, failed to achieve success in the last round of the Spanish Championship. On Sunday, Villarreal lost to Celta at home (2-4). The match turned out to be eventful. The Celts scored an early goal by the efforts of Santi Mina in the 19th minute, but Moises Gomez equalized six minutes later. Towards the end of the half, Celta gained a 2-goal lead thanks to penalties from Santi Mina and Bryce Mendes. Beyond that, the referee David Medier Jimenez sent Geronimo Rulli and Mario Gaspar off the Villarreal bench. After the break, the Celts brought the score to a big one thanks to the efforts of Augusto Solari. Villarreal closed the gap in the 87th minute thanks to Gerard Moreno’s goal from the penalty spot.
For both teams, the upcoming match is of great importance. Valladolid need to score points so that they do not leave the elite. Villarreal appears to be the weakest of the remaining opponents of the White and Violets, who will also face Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid. Villarreal, which is struggling for European cups, has a similar situation with the calendar, as the Yellow Submarine will have two matches against Sevilla and Real Madrid. It can be assumed that teams will play cautious football to avoid a large number of mistakes. The price of a misfire is too high, so a bet on low production would be justified. Valladolid and Villarreal scored no more than two goals in their last six head-to-head matches, and the same outcome took place in the previous six meetings of the teams on the field of Pucela.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
