Match Analysis

Vallecano's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, managing only one win in their last three matches.

Valencia, on the other hand, appears to be on an upward trajectory with three consecutive victories. They have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last three games, including a notable 2-1 win against Real Madrid away. Valencia has averaged 1.6 goals per game in their last five matches, showing a good scoring form, although they have conceded an average of 2.6 goals, highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities. Their expected goals and conceded metrics suggest a need for defensive improvement.

Final Prediction

Vallecano's home advantage and their higher league standing give them an edge in this contest. Despite recent inconsistencies, their potential to score more than their recent average could be a decisive factor. A key aspect to watch will be whether Valencia can maintain their winning momentum while shoring up their defensive line against a Vallecano side eager to capitalize on home turf.
