Predictions & Betting Tips

Lurching towards the bottom three

This Leganes vs Real Valladolid preview notes that Leganes remain in danger of slipping into the bottom zone of La Liga 2024-2025 after picking up just 37 points from 37 games, leaving them in 18th place in the standings. Their recent upturn in form has given them a chance of escaping the relegation zone and they are unbeaten in their two most recent home games, winning one and drawing one. Borja Jiménez has done a solid job since taking over as head coach in June 2023, creating a unit that is hard to break down and counter with skill, usually setting up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 formation. Daniel Raba remains their biggest goal threat with eight La Liga strikes this season and has proved a reliable outlet in tight games, while Munir El Haddadi has been in great form recently, netting two of Leganes’ last five goals to provide some additional firepower.

Valladolid’s away-day blues

Real Valladolid are in even more desperate shape, lying bottom of La Liga 2024-2025 in 20th place with a measly 16 points from 37 matches. Their latest two defeats have been 1-0 home losses to Girona and Alaves and they are on a run of five straight La Liga defeats. Alvaro Rubio, in charge of Valladolid since February 2025, has yet to reverse their slide and it is hard to see him finding any solutions this weekend. In terms of the Leganes vs Real Valladolid prediction, things look bleak for the visitors based on their current form. His side favor patient, possession-based buildup but tend to lack final-third penetration and have been error-prone away from home. Mamadou Sylla remains their top scorer in La Liga with five strikes, although Chuki has bagged two of Valladolid’s last three goals, a rarity for a team that is toothless up front. Raul Moro has been their most creative spark of late with three assists in their last five games, but his side have failed to win on their previous two trips to Leganes.

Leganes have the grit to win

Our Leganes vs Real Valladolid prediction is that Leganes will keep up their good form and take all three points against Valladolid, who are likely to be desperate but lacking in confidence. Their odds of -312 seem extremely low, however, and Valladolid are big outsiders at +910. With relegation on the line and both teams needing the points, this should be a tight game but one in which Leganes will set the pace and frustrate Valladolid. A low total goals market might also appeal here as Leganes are solid in a defensive shape and Valladolid are not usually prolific in front of goal. Leganes have conceded only 27 goals at home this season, but Valladolid have shipped 55 on the road at a rate of 3.06 per game. For those considering a wager, these Leganes vs Real Valladolid betting tips strongly favor the home side due to their defensive solidity and Valladolid's poor away record.
