Indium. Valencia’s total over 1.5
Valencia before the start of the season clearly hoped to fight for European competition, but the reality turned out to be brutal. The club is forced to vegetate in the relegation zone and has a real chance to leave Example.
In order to protect the team from demotion, the board decided to shake up the players by appointing a new coach. In the last 9 rounds, the game of “bats” is led by Ruben Baraja. Despite only 10 points scored in this period, in most matches they present themselves decently. Only with Atletico (0:3), Barcelona (0:1) and Getafe (0:2) Valencia lost significantly in xg.
He averages 1.13xg per game under the new manager, with 1.02xg allowed.
“Valladolid” after a crushing defeat with “Real” (0:6) also underwent a change of coach. Pacheta was replaced by Uruguayan specialist Paulo Pezzolano. Under his leadership, the “white and purple” team did not lose and managed to score 7 points in 3 matches.
Nevertheless, this success can hardly be called natural. According to the model of expected goals scored (xg), Valladolid hardly deserved to score so many points. At the same time, the visiting Mallorca’s allowed 1.8 xg shows a clear imbalance in the team’s play.
I think Valencia in their current state is able to open the not-so-great defense of Valladolid.
