Paulo Pezzolano still hasn’t managed to invigorate his team and break their run of poor results. Since their last victory, Valladolid has played six matches, earning just 2 points: a draw with Leganés (0-0) and a draw with Real Sociedad (0-0). In the last round, the “White and Violets” traveled to Seville, where they lost 1-2 at the “Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan” stadium. It’s especially disappointing that Valladolid ranks as the worst team both in terms of attacking statistics and defensive metrics. On average, Valladolid scores only 0.43 goals per game while conceding around 2.14. This is largely due to player injuries, with defenders Cenk Özkacar and Javi Sánchez, the young and promising Abdoulaye Djuma Ba—who already made his debut against Real Sociedad—and Moroccan midfielder Anuar all in the injury list.
Jagoba Arrasate is gradually implementing his vision of football into the structure and style of play for the “Islanders.” In their last five matches, Mallorca has earned 10 points, which ranks as the 5th-best performance in the league. In the last round, they defeated Real Betis at the “Benito Villamarín” stadium. A winning goal from substitute Valery set the final score at 2-1 in favor of the team from Palma de Mallorca. Interestingly, the “Vermilion” have been performing better away from home than at the “Iberostar.” In three away games, Mallorca has won twice: against Leganés (1-0) and Betis (2-1). Valladolid should be cautious, as Arrasate’s team is not one to “behave politely” on the road. The most effective player for the “Red and Blacks” at the start of the season has been 36-year-old Dani Rodríguez, who has scored two goals and provided one assist. One of the team’s key players, Vedat Muriqi, will not travel to Valladolid, and the participation of Takuma Asano and Siebe Van Der Heyden is still in doubt.
