Athletic Club 7-1 Real Valladolid

Current streaks

Recent form

Athletic Club

Athletic Club have shown mixed form in their recent outings, demonstrating resilience with a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions since their heavy 4-1 defeat to Besiktas in the Europa League. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 10 goals in their last six matches, with a particularly impressive 3-0 victory over Girona in La Liga. Defensively, they've been somewhat inconsistent, keeping two clean sheets but also conceding four goals in their European setback. The Basque side's ability to find the net is noteworthy, with 67% of their recent matches seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their current fourth position in La Liga, Athletic Club's tendency to draw matches (three in their last six) might be a concern for their ambitions to secure a Champions League spot.

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid are currently experiencing a dire run of form, having lost their last five matches in La Liga. This losing streak has seen them concede a staggering 15 goals whilst only managing to score three, highlighting their defensive frailties and attacking struggles. Their most recent defeat, a 4-0 thrashing at home to Sevilla, was particularly concerning, as was their 5-1 loss to Villarreal CF. The team's only bright spot in their last six games was a narrow 1-0 victory over Real Betis, which also marked their only clean sheet during this period. With an average of 2.5 goals conceded per game and only 0.5 goals scored, Real Valladolid's goal difference of -12 over the last six matches paints a bleak picture. Their current position at the bottom of the table with just 15 points from 24 games further emphasises the team's precarious situation and urgent need for improvement.

Recent home/away form

Athletic Club

Athletic Club have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at San Mamés. The Basque side have been particularly strong in their most recent outings, securing back-to-back victories against Girona and Plzen, scoring three goals in each of these matches. Defensively, Athletic have been solid, keeping three clean sheets in this period. However, they've also experienced a couple of setbacks, notably a high-scoring 3-2 defeat to Osasuna in the Copa del Rey. The team's goal-scoring record has been impressive, netting 10 times in six games, averaging 1.67 goals per match. With an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, Athletic's home fixtures have provided a balance of defensive solidity and attacking flair.

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid's away form has been abysmal, with the team currently on a six-match losing streak on the road. This dismal run has seen them concede a whopping 16 goals whilst only managing to score 5, resulting in a goal difference of -11. The Pucela have been particularly leaky in defence, failing to keep a single clean sheet and conceding an average of 2.67 goals per game. Their attacking output has been equally poor, with a meagre 0.83 goals scored per game. Notably, their away matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. The 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Villarreal CF stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, highlighting Real Valladolid's struggles away from home. With these statistics, it's no surprise that the team finds themselves rooted to the bottom of the La Liga table.
