Valencia secured their eighth league-win of the season against Elche last time out thanks to Samuel Lino’s 19th-minute opener and Gonzalo Verdu’s own goal three minutes before the break. The result ended their four-game winless streak, that included three defeats. When u look at the bigger picture, Los Che have lost 11 of their last 16 top flight games to remain in the relegation dog fight. On a positive note, Valencia boast the best defensive record in the bottom half, having conceded only 36 goals in 30 games. Apart from that, six of their eight La Liga-wins this term have come in front of their own supporters at Mestalla.
Valladolid, on the other hand, have won only three away-games in the top flight this season. Pucelanos pocketed seven points from their last three games under the stewardship of new boss Paulo Pezzelano. After being thrashed 6-0 away to Real Madrid at the start of this month, Valladolid shared the spoils against Mallorca (3-3), before getting the better of sixth-placed Villarreal (2-1) and Girona (1-0). Pezzelano’s side secured all three points against White and Reds last time out courtesy of Monchu’s lone goal mid-way through the first-half.
