Real Valladolid vs Barcelona

Current streaks

Recent form

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid are currently enduring a dreadful run of form, having lost their last seven matches in La Liga, including all six of their most recent games. Their defensive frailties are particularly concerning, with the team conceding a staggering 19 goals in their last six matches, averaging over three goals conceded per game. The 5-1 defeat to Real Betis and the 4-0 loss to Getafe stand out as particularly heavy defeats during this period. Valladolid's attacking output has also been lacklustre, managing to score just six goals in these six games. Their current position at the bottom of the table with only 16 points from 33 games reflects their poor form, and they haven't kept a clean sheet or won a match in their last 14 games, highlighting the depth of their struggles this season.

Barcelona

Barcelona have been in impressive form recently, maintaining their position at the top of La Liga with 76 points from 33 games. The Catalan giants have won four of their last six matches across all competitions, including a thrilling 3-2 victory over arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Their attacking prowess has been evident, scoring 13 goals in their last six games at an average of 2.17 per match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals during the same period. The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Notably, Barcelona have been involved in two particularly exciting encounters: a 4-3 win against RC Celta in La Liga and a 3-3 draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League, showcasing their ability to both score and concede in abundance.

Recent home/away form

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid's recent home form has been abysmal, with the club enduring a dismal run of five consecutive defeats at their own ground. The team have failed to score in four of their last six home matches, whilst conceding a whopping 16 goals during this period. Particularly concerning are the heavy losses to Getafe and Sevilla, both ending in 4-0 drubbings. The last time Valladolid managed to avoid defeat at home was a 1-1 draw against Las Palmas, but even that result hasn't sparked any improvement. With an average of just 0.5 goals scored per game and a worrying 2.67 goals conceded per game, it's clear why Valladolid find themselves rooted to the bottom of La Liga. Their inability to keep clean sheets and the fact that 67% of their home games have seen over 2.5 goals suggest that their defence is particularly vulnerable.

Barcelona

Barcelona have been in impressive form away from home, securing five consecutive victories before their recent loss to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. The Catalan giants have demonstrated their defensive prowess, keeping four clean sheets in their last six away matches, whilst also showcasing their attacking threat with a notable 4-2 victory over Atlético de Madrid in La Liga. Barcelona's away performances have been characterised by efficient, low-scoring affairs, with 67% of these matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite this, they have maintained a healthy goal difference of +5 and averaged 1.67 goals per game, highlighting their ability to grind out results on the road. Their recent away form has undoubtedly contributed to their strong position in La Liga, where they currently sit atop the table with 76 points from 33 games.
