Real Valladolid desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 20 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Almeria come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Real Valladolid travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Almeria won their last outing, while Real Valladolid suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Almeria face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Real Valladolid have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Almeria won 1–0.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Almeria clear favorites, but Real Valladolid have shown they can grind out results. Expect Almeria to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
