Last season, Villarreal B returned to La Liga 2, and even though they were just one spot above the danger zone, they were really not too close to being relegated, finishing six points away from it. This season, they are once again in the lower part of the league's table, but probably that is not something they are too worried about because they are focused on developing the players for the senior team. Right now, they are 18th, just one point away from the danger zone.
In the 21st century, Real Valladolid mostly traveled between La Liga and La Liga 2. Last season, they were once again relegated from La Liga, finishing just one point away from the danger zone. If they only won the last game of the season at home vs Getafe, they would stay in the league. This season, after a somewhat poor start, they are looking good and are one of the promotion candidates. At this moment, they are in 2nd place, just two away from the fist-placed Leganes.
Villarreal B vs Real Valladolid pick: Real Valladolid to win
Villarreal B are in terrible form over the previous two months as they lost six of nine games - 67%. Their offense has been really disappointing, scoring only four goals during that nine-game stretch.
Real Valladolid won 11 of 19 games this season, and even though they had mixed results away from home, they had little problems with teams from the bottom of the league's table, and we think they are good enough to beat this unexperienced Villarreal B team. Recently, Real Valladolid have been in good form, winning five of eight games and losing only to Espanyol (in the Cup) and Levante, which are among the best teams in the league.
Objectively, Real Valladolid are a better team overall, and considering Villarreal's terrible goalscoring form, we believe that Valladolid will walk away with all three points from Estadio de la Ceramica.

Real Valladolid team news
A starting left full-back, Sergio Escudero, received the fifth yellow card in the previous game and will serve his one-game suspension vs Villarreal B. With him out, a backup right full-back, Lucas Rosa, will most likely start on the left side.
Due to injury, the team will most likely miss Mamadou Sylla, who is the team's top goalscorer with six goals. Also, another striker, Marcos Andre, will miss the game with a long-term injury.
