This victory became the sixth of the season for the team and the second in the last five rounds. In this series the club had also a minimal victory over Santa Clara (1:0), as well as losses to Portimonensi (1:4), Tondela (0:1) and Porto (0:2).

One of the oldest clubs in Valencia is performing quite successfully this season, which cannot but please fans of the team. The team performed very powerfully in the Spanish Cup, where they managed to knock out Fuenlabrada, Valladolid and Villarreal. The team looked decent in the semifinals of the tournament, where they lost only in extra time to Athletic Bilbao on aggregate with a score of 2:3. In the championship of Primera the “frogs” perform successfully and after 27 rounds they are settled in the top ten of the tournament table. The Valencian team has eight victories and 11 peaceful outcomes, which brought 35 points and ninth place in the standings. The gap from today’s opponent is only seven points and with the same effectiveness of the attack guests have the best indicator in terms of the quality of defense. After a draw with Bilbao (1:1), Paco Lopez’s charges lost to Real Sociedad on the road (0:1) and last Friday defeated Valencia (1:0) at home in the derby, for which we gave a prediction. As part of the “blue garnet” will not be able to enter the field of Campania, Melero, Postigo and Radoy, who has a muscle injury.
