The La Liga title race will eclipse even the best of thrillers in the number of twists and turns it produces. In spite of Barcelona’s sudden dip in form, Atletico’s amazing consistency and Real Madrid’s sparkling football, there still remain three contenders for the Spanish title. Can this match, between Real Valladolid and Real Madrid, provide yet another twist to the tale?

By all recognizable indicators, Real Madrid must win this match. They are third in the league now and are in the Champions League final. Valladolid are second from last and fighting a tough exciting relegation battle. That is why Real should be careful. A win will make Valladolid’s position much safer. Three points would help them leap frog three teams into relative safety.

The Madrid giants have beaten Valladolid in all their last six meetings. Not just they won, but they scored two or more goals in each of these matches. Valladolid has shown reasonably good recent form – winning two and drawing two of their last five matches.

Gareth Bale has been ruled out of this match. Luka Modric’s injury is also a worry for Madrid. They will expect another sterling display from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Javi Guerra has been the mainstay for Valladolidin this season. Patrick Ebert is another one who can catch the Real defenders off guard.

A win will help Real Madrid to overtake Barcelona. Still, they will be two points behind Atletico. Any result other than a win will almost ruin their title chances.
