Real Valladolid will be looking to begin their push for survival in La Liga when they play host to Osasuna at the José Zorrilla Stadium on Sunday. Vicente Moreno’s men are unbeaten in their last five games against the home side since December 2020 and will head into the weekend looking to extend this impressive five-year streak.
Real Valladolid were left empty-handed yet again as they suffered a 4-2 defeat against Atletico Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano last Monday.
Alvaro Rubio’s side have lost five games on the bounce and are without a win in their last 12 league games, claiming one point from the last 36 available since a 1-0 victory over Real Betis on January 11.
This dire run of results has seen Real Valladolid plunge to the bottom of the La Liga standings, 14 points away from safety with seven games left to play.
On the other hand, Osasuna returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out Girona 2-1 at the Estadio El Sadar.
Moreno’s men had failed to win their previous nine outings, losing four and claiming five draws — a result which saw them crash out of the Copa del Rey courtesy of a 2-0 defeat against Real Sociedad in February.
Osasuna have picked up 38 points from their 31 La Liga matches so far to sit 12th in the league standings, but could move level with ninth-placed Real Sociedad with a win on Sunday.
