Real Valladolid will go head-to-head with Mallorca as Sunday’s La Liga fixtures get underway at the José Zorrilla Stadium.
Javier Aguirre’s men will head into the weekend looking to snap their five-game winless run and pull clear of the danger zone.
Real Valladolid were on the receiving end of a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of defending champions Real Madrid last Sunday.
Pucela are currently on a three-game winless run, picking up one point from a possible nine since March’s 2-1 victory over Espanyol.
With 28 points from 27 games, Valladolid are currently 16th in the La Liga table, level on points with 15th-placed Cadiz and one point above the relegation zone.
Mallorca, on the other hand, failed to find their feet last time out as they were held to a goalless draw by Osasuna at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
Aguirre’s side have failed to win their last five matches, stretching back to February’s 4-2 win over 10-man Villarreal. Mallorca are currently 12th in the league table, having picked up 33 points from 27 games.
