Valladolid are not the type of side to open themselves up unnecessarily. When they travel, they are organised, patient, and willing to wait for a moment of quality. Almeria will have plenty of the ball in patches, but translating possession into goals has been their persistent problem this season. The likely trajectory here is a controlled, professional away performance ending in a narrow Valladolid victory. Our model forecasts an away win at 0%, with the goals count likely to stay modest.
