Prediction – Córdoba 1 – 1 Real Valladolid

Recent form

Heading into their La Liga 2 clash at the Estadio Nuevo Arcángel, both Córdoba and Real Valladolid are showing contrasting recent performances. Córdoba have struggled in their last five league outings and have managed just one win. Their only win came against Burgos by a score of 2-0 at home, but they suffered defeats against Las Palmas, Málaga, Huesca and Mirandés, all by 2-1 or 1-0 margins. This pattern indicates a persistent challenge when it comes to going in favor of close games, highlighting potential problems in both defense and finishing. In contrast, Real Valladolid have shown a more mixed but promising form. Despite a shock 0-1 home defeat against Albacete and a heavy 3-0 defeat at Ceuta, they bounced back with emphatic 3-0 home wins against both Leganés and Leganés. SD Eibar. The 1-1 draw at home to Racing de Santander further indicates their ability to pick up points, especially on the road, where recent performances have been very good. Historically, the head-to-head record between the two teams indicates a relatively balanced competition, with the last encounter ending in a 0-0 draw. However, Real Valladolid have had the upper hand in recent meetings, most notably with a 4-1 win in 2017. As the two teams prepare to meet again, Córdoba will look to use home advantage to reverse their recent fortunes, while Real Valladolid aim to continue their positive momentum away from home.

Córdoba last 5 league games

Córdoba’s recent performances in Liga 2 have been mixed, reflecting both promise and areas that need improvement. In their last five league games, they have managed just one win, a 2-0 home win against Burgos, while suffering four defeats. Despite these setbacks, Córdoba have shown resilience, especially when analyzing their possession statistics. In the matches against Huesca and Mirandés, they dominated possession with 66% and 59% respectively, indicating their ability to control the game and dictate the pace. However, Córdoba’s struggles to convert possession into goals have been evident. Although they managed to score in four of the five games, they managed just one win, highlighting a critical area for improvement. Their defensive vulnerabilities have also been exposed, especially in away games where they conceded multiple goals. The absence of red cards in their favor suggests a disciplined approach, but their inability to take advantage of opposition dismissals, as seen against Huesca and Mirandés, has been a missed opportunity. The expected line-up for the next match at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel offers an insight into Córdoba’s potential strategy. Barring injuries, the team is expected to have a strong squad, with key players like now Diego Bri i Isma Ruiz in the middle of the field, next to the defensive pair of Álex Martín and Xavi Sintes. The inclusion of Adrián Fuentes as the main striker indicates a focus on strengthening their offensive capabilities. Córdoba’s strengths lie in their ability to keep possession and create opportunities from set pieces, as evidenced by their high corners in recent games. However, his finishing needs refinement to convert those chances into goals on a consistent basis. When they face their next opponent, capitalizing on midfield control and improving defensive solidity will be crucial to translate possession into a positive result.

Real Valladolid last 5 league matches

Real Valladolid’s recent performances in Liga 2 have been marked by inconsistency, reflecting a varied set of results in their last five games. They have achieved important victories away from home against Leganés and SD Eibarboth with a resounding score of 3-0. These matches demonstrated their ability to capitalize on counter-attacks and maintain strong defensive structures, as evidenced by their superior possession in both matches. However, their form at home has been less assured, with a narrow 0-1 defeat to Albacete and a 1-1 draw against Racing de Santander, where disciplinary problems, including two red cards, have marred their efforts. The statistical breakdown of these games reveals certain trends that Valladolid will have to address. They have struggled with discipline, accumulating a large number of yellow cards, especially in the match against Racing de Santander. Despite controlling possession in some games, such as against Albacete, the inability to convert this advantage into goals has been a recurring theme. Additionally, his set-piece play, highlighted by fewer corners in several games, suggests an area for potential improvement. The current list of injuries, including Eray Cömert and the suspension of Stanko Juricit further complicates Valladolid’s preparations. The absence of these key players could affect their defensive solidity and midfield balance. However, the predicted lineup suggests a strategic focus on a strong midfield presence with players like Sergi Canós and Víctor Meseguer, who could be key in dictating play and supporting the attack, led by Juanmi Latasa. In conclusion, Real Valladolid’s approach in the upcoming match at the Estadio Nuevo Arcángel will likely emphasize maintaining discipline, optimizing possession and exploiting their midfield strengths. Addressing these key areas could be vital to improving his consistency and achieving positive results in his quest for a better position in the league.

Detailed H2H analysis

Córdoba and Real Valladolid have a competitive history, with their head-to-head record showing a mixed bag of results. In their last five meetings, the results have been fairly balanced, with one win for each team, while two games ended in draws. Notably, the most recent meeting in August 2025 ended in a goalless draw, indicating a closely contested affair. Córdoba’s victory in February 2018, where they ran out 2-1 winners despite Valladolid’s greater number of yellow and red cards, highlights their ability to capitalize on home advantage and the disciplinary faults of their opponents. Conversely, Valladolid’s decisive 4-1 win in September 2017 highlights their potential to exploit defensive weaknesses, especially when playing at home. Analyzing these patterns, possession and ball games have played a crucial role. Córdoba have often controlled possession, as seen in the win in February 2018 and the draw in October 2016, but have struggled with defensive discipline, often receiving more yellow cards. Valladolid, on the other hand, has shown effectiveness in turning possession into goals, especially at home. As they prepare for their next clash at the Estadio Nuevo Arcángel, Córdoba’s squad as a whole could be a significant advantage against a Valladolid side missing key players such as Eray Cömert and Stanko Juric. Given these dynamics, Córdoba’s ability to maintain discipline and capitalize on their home advantage could be crucial. Meanwhile, Valladolid will need to adapt to their absences and build on their past success to convert possession into scoring opportunities. This match promises to build on their historic rivalry, with each team aiming to assert dominance in Ligue 2.
