Real Valladolid vs Lugo prediction, preview, team news and more | Segunda Division 2021-22

Real Valladolid host Lugo at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla in the Spanish Segunda Division on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Real Valladolid are currently 3rd in the league, four points off Eibar at the top of the table. Pacheta's side have faltered of late, losing two of their last five games. They will look to bounce back with a win against Lugo on Saturday.

Lugo have been woeful of late and are currently 14th in the table. Ruben Albes' side have only won one of their last eight games and will hope to turn things around with a win against Valladolid on Saturday.

This will be a huge opportunity for Valladolid to potentially climb to 2nd in the table with a win.
