In the last round Valladolid outplayed Getafe minimally on the road. After that the team also advanced to the next round of the Spanish Cup, defeating Marbella in overtime (2:3). However, despite recent successes, Valladolid did not move away from the danger zone. The handicap from the dangerous 18th place is measured by only two points. Teams number one problem is frankly weak offense. In 17 matches the club’s players managed to score only 16 goals, thats less than a goal per match! A number of important performers will not help hosts in this match. In the infirmary were Andre Marcos, Raul Garcia, Fabian Orellana, Joaquin Fernandez and Saidi Yanko, thats a good half of the squad!
The third defeat in a row was remembered by players of the Cagliari team. Fighting with players of the Benevento club in the previous round, they were the first to hit the opponent’s goal, but could not keep the score. As a result, the fight ended with the final result of 1:2. Like their upcoming rivals, such a result did not prevent the Islanders from staying in their 15th place in the standings. And again, future rivals were arranged one after another in the same order. Eusebio Di Francesco’s wards have one more lost match and the same number of victorious confrontations as their current opponent.But the Islanders have scored more goals than the Violets in the season, but in terms of goals conceded to their own gates they occupy the 2nd place from the end among all the other teams fighting this season.
