Real Valladolid will invite Valencia to Estadio José Zorrilla in a bottom-of-the-table La Liga clash on Friday. The visitors are in 19th place with 10 points while Valladolid are at the bottom of the standings with nine points.
The hosts are winless in their last six league games, suffering three consecutive defeats. They played Las Palmas last week and fell to a 2-1 away loss. Marcos André had equalized in the 45th minute but Sandro Ramírez restored the lead for Las Palmas in the 64th minute, completing his brace.
Los Ches suffered their second consecutive league defeat last week, as they fell to a 1-0 home loss to Rayo Vallecano. They failed to score for the first time since October in that loss and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

They have lost four of their last five home games in La Liga, scoring four goals while conceding 12 times. They have just one win in their last 10 home games in this fixture, failing to score in six.
Eray Cömert picked up his fifth yellow card of the campaign last week and will serve a suspension here. Raúl Moro, Kenedy, and Selim Amallah missed out due to injuries last week and are doubts for this match.
Los Ches have one win in their last eight league games while failing to score in four. They have failed to score in four of their last six away league games and will look to improve upon that record.
