Real Valladolid and Eldense meet in La Liga 2 in clearly different shape. The hosts thrashed their opponents 5-0 in their last match, while the visitors won narrowly 2-1, but both picked up victories in their previous games. Real Valladolid are unbeaten in 4 straight matches, but their defence still shows weaknesses, especially early in games when they concede fairly often. Eldense, meanwhile, are on a winning run, but it has come at the cost of a rather leaky defence, and their most recent defeat saw them concede 32% of all the goals they have let in during the second half. This looks like a game where both teams will take turns holding possession and wait for counter-attacking chances, especially Eldense, who are likely to sit back and look to break forward with speed. The thing to watch after kick-off is how much pressure Real Valladolid can apply early on, because if they get their attack going quickly, the game may not be as open as expected.
