Gamingtips Prediction – Real Betis 1:1 Valladolid
This is a very difficult match to sum up and predict; Usually when games appear to be close on paper we can take something from the number of goals scored/conceded by the two teams involved however on this occasion both teams stats are almost identical. Odds of 10/11 for Real Betis seem quite reasonable however they are facing a side who defeated Malaga 3:1 and held Bilbao to a score draw (Malaga hold the best defensive record in the Spanish Primera). This match is going to come down to which Valladolid side turns up – They are capable on their day however they are very inconsistent and it’s difficult to trust a team based on odds of 31/10.
