Lucas Beltran has had 2+ shots in three of his last five appearances in LaLiga for Valencia, and is generously priced to cover that line again here, given his recent record and threat to opposition backlines across the season as a whole.

Beltran has had 24 shots across his 11 starts in LaLiga this term, working out to an average of 2.33 shots per 90. Intriguingly, this is the exact same record as his striking partner in Hugo Duro, who has played 300 more minutes in LaLiga this term than Beltran - yet is priced at 1.25 to have 2+ shots in this clash.

I think it’s better to take Beltran at a more appealing price, given that he’s managed to equal Duro’s shot count in what equates to three fewer matches. Beltran also had two shots in Valencia’s 2-1 defeat to Athletic Club in the Copa Del Rey last time out.

Valencia were blunted effectively by Real Madrid in the most recent clash, but should get more joy this time round at home. Real Madrid look far from secure under the interim stewardship of Alvaro Arbeloa, who has seen his side concede 10+ shots in five of his six matches in charge so far. 

There is good value with this selection when backing with bet365, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.33 with other major bookmakers.
