Real Valladolid host Getafe at the Jose Zorrilla on Sunday (June 4) in the final round of the La Liga campaign.
The hosts have had a largely difficult campaign and now have one game to save their top-flight status. Valladolid played out a goalless draw against Almeria last time out and were perhaps fortunate to have picked up a point, as their opponents were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Valladolid are 18th in the standings with 39 points. They will avoid relegation with a win, but a draw could prove detrimental to their survival chances.
Getafe, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season but have picked up key points for survival in recent weeks. They registered a 2-1 comeback win over Osasuna last time out, with Juanmi Latasa and Jaime Mata getting on the scoresheet to overturn an early deficit.
The visitors are 14th in the points table with 41 points and will guarantee survival if they avoid defeat.
