Valladolid has spent in the top division of Spain more than forty seasons, but after the team became the property of Ronaldo, results have improved markedly. The start of the new Spanish Cup season was quite successful for the “white-violet”. The team knocked out Cantolagua (5:0), Marbella (3:2 pins) and Pena (4:1), after which they failed to cope with Levante (2:4). In the La Liga championship, Pusela managed to win four victories in 23 rounds and drew nine times, which brought 21 points and 18th place in the relegation zone. In 2021 the team fell into a black streak. In the last five matches, hosts suffered two defeats and shared the tournament points with Elche (2:2), Levante (2:2) and Eibar (1:1). The weakest link of the team is the attack line, which hit the opponents’ goal 22 times, which is less than one goal per game on average. Sergio Gonzalez’s charges are very serious. El Yamik, Ervias, Sanchez, Plano, Garcia, Andre Marcos and Kiko Olivas, who has an injured knee, will not be able to enter the field today. Olas is on disqualification due to busting yellow cards.
The Blackbirds are approaching the next match with Burnley after a slightly sensational draw with Manchester United. This time the most skipping home team managed to let guests print the gates only once, while being the first to open the score itself, having a 1:1 draw. In terms of the tournament this draw was not particularly reflected for West Brom. Sam Allardyce’s charges continue to be in the penultimate line in the Premier League table. WBA scored only 13 points. The team is just two points ahead of the last Sheffield United and 12 points behind the saving 17th position. The last victory in the championship of England “West Brom” won back in mid-January over “Wolverhampton” (3:2) away, after which they lost four matches and drew two times. On the road, after the success in the match with the “wolves”, Sam Allardyce’s wards lost in all three games, that is to West Ham (1:2), Sheffield United (1:2) and Tottenham (0:2). In general, the Blackbirds have lost eight of 12 matches in the current championship on the rivals’ fields and the victory over Wolverhampton remains the only away game. West Bromwich is one of the most skipping away teams in the championship. The “blackbirds” have distinguished themselves only 11 times, but they have already conceded 23 goals. Only Southampton (24) and Leeds (26) conceded more. West Brom has no personnel losses. Only Grady Diangana and Lee Peltier are in question.
