Correct score prediction: Real Valladolid 0-0 Leganes
There were only two points to separate these teams at the top of the Segunda Division last term. Both look a bit short in terms of the kind of attacking quality that is really going to light up the top flight, and this promises to be a tight game. Real Valladolid are tough to beat at home, but Leganes are likely to be confident after a bright start, and it may end level.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Hosts the slight favourites
- HOME: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%
- DRAW: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%

The hosts are the favourites according to the Real Valladolid vs Leganes odds with an implied probability of 43.5% that they win the game.
Real Valladolid come into the game after a 3-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu. They were competitive for much of that match, but ultimately two very late goals gave the scoreline a one-sided feel.
It was a happier weekend for Leganes. They beat Las Palmas 2-1 in their first home match back in the top flight with Juan Cruz and Enric Franquesa scoring the goals.

Leganes preview: Super subs to return
After coming off the bench to score the decisive goals against Las Palmas, Cruz and Franquesa should earn recalls to the starting eleven. Leganes have no notable injury issues currently.

Player to watch – Raul Moro
Raul Moro is the only player for Real Valladolid to score yet this season, with his goal settling their season opener. He also went close after coming off the bench at the Bernabeu on Sunday.
Moro’s time to shine
The 21-year-old is one of the brightest young players in this Real Valladolid squad. He’d only scored three league goals in his career before this season, but Pezzolano clearly believes he can play at this level and he averages 1.5 shots an 2.0 key passes per game so far this term.
