Match Analysis

In their recent outings, Vallecano has shown resilience, recording two draws and a loss. Notably, they managed to hold both Oviedo and the formidable Real Madrid to goalless draws, demonstrating their defensive solidity. However, their visit to Villarreal ended in a 4-0 defeat, highlighting some vulnerabilities. Vallecano's recent defensive performances are bolstered by four clean sheets in their last five matches, suggesting a robust backline capable of stifling opposition attacks. Valencia, on the other hand, comes into this match with a mixed bag of results. They secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Levante, drew 1-1 with Betis, and suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Real Madrid. Valencia's defensive frailties are evident as they conceded 2.8 goals on average in their last five games. Despite this, their attack remains a concern, with an average of 0.6 goals scored per match, a stat that mirrors Vallecano's scoring struggles.

Final Prediction

Vallecano's defensive consistency and home advantage give them the upper hand against Valencia. The key factor to watch in this encounter will be Vallecano's ability to maintain their defensive discipline and capitalize on Valencia's defensive lapses. If Vallecano can continue their trend of clean sheets, they are well-positioned to edge out a narrow victory in what promises to be a closely contested match.
