Real Valladolid vs. Real Madrid

Real Madrid is on a 2-1-2 run on the road. That includes a 0-0 tie with 12th-ranked Osasuna and a 1-1 DRAW at Elche, the second-worst team in the league. They're shorthanded for this one with winger Eden Hazard, central midfielder Federico Valverde, left-back Marcelo Vieira, central defender Eder Militao, and right-backs Alvaro Odriozola and Dani Carvajal all out. In addition, centre-back/captain Sergio Ramos is still out following meniscus surgery. Real Valladolid is home and will bring a big effort to try and pick up points to avoid the regulation zone. For this game, central midfielder Ruben Alcaraz, central defender Joaquín Fernandez Moreno, and central midfielder Federico San Emeterio all return from suspensions making this an excellent situational spot for the home team. Real Valladolid on the moneyline.
