Best Bet

Bookmaker
Inter Milan to Win and Over 2.5 Goals @ 9/10
Reasoning
Inter Milan’s potent attack and Monza’s defensive struggles suggest a comfortable victory for the visitors. Backing Inter to win with over 2.5 goals seems the best bet, considering Inter’s form and Monza’s vulnerabilities.

Real Madrid are poised to claim their inaugural victory of the 2024-25 La Liga season when they face newly-promoted Real Valladolid at the Bernabeu on Sunday afternoon. Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be eager to bounce back after a disappointing 1-1 draw against Mallorca in their opening match, where they failed to capitalise on an early lead. Real Valladolid, on the other hand, began their campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Espanyol, and they now face the daunting task of challenging the reigning champions on their home turf.

Real Madrid are heavily favoured to secure a comfortable victory in this encounter, making the -1 handicap an excellent betting choice. Ancelotti’s team, despite their slow start, remain one of the most formidable sides in La Liga, particularly when playing at the Bernabeu. The opening draw against Mallorca was a reminder of the competitive nature of the league, but it also highlighted Madrid’s resilience. With key players such as Rodrygo, who found the net in the previous match, and Mbappé leading the attack, Real Madrid have the firepower to overwhelm a Valladolid side that may struggle to keep up.

Valladolid’s narrow 1-0 victory over Espanyol was achieved with only a single shot on target, which raises concerns about their attacking potency, especially against a top-tier defence like Madrid’s. Last season, Real Madrid boasted the best defensive record in the league, with 21 clean sheets across 38 games, conceding just 26 goals. Given that Valladolid’s success last week came against a fellow promoted side, their chances of breaching Madrid’s defence appear slim.

Furthermore, Madrid’s dominance at the Bernabeu cannot be overstated. They were unbeaten at home last season, a testament to their strength on familiar ground. This weekend, with key defensive players back in action, they are likely to return to their robust form, shutting out a Valladolid attack that has yet to prove itself against top-flight opposition.

As BettingTips4You.com expert Gerard Gabasa notes, “Real Madrid’s formidable home record, combined with Valladolid’s limited offensive threat, makes a -1 handicap victory for the hosts a strong and sensible bet.

Madrid’s attacking trio, led by the dynamic Mbappé and Vinicius Junior, is expected to be too much for Valladolid’s backline, which will be under pressure from the outset. The attacking statistics, including an average of 13 shots per game, indicate that Madrid will create plenty of opportunities, making a multi-goal margin not just likely but probable.

Correct Score Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid

Aligning with the expectation of a dominant Real Madrid performance, a 2-0 victory seems a plausible outcome. This prediction complements the best bet, suggesting that Madrid will secure a win by more than one goal without conceding. Despite the attacking prowess of Ancelotti’s side, Valladolid’s defensive approach and Madrid’s early-season form suggest that while the hosts will dominate, they may not rack up a high scoreline. Valladolid’s defensive effort against Espanyol shows they are capable of limiting damage, but Madrid’s quality should ultimately break through twice.

The 2-0 scoreline reflects Real Madrid’s balance of a solid defence and effective, but perhaps not yet fully fluid, attack. Given the data, it’s clear that while Madrid are likely to control the game, they might still be finding their rhythm, particularly in front of goal.
