Real Valladolid, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Real Valladolid supremo José 'Pacheta' Rojo Martín after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Celta Vigo. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Celta Vigo, who had 18 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. They have proved to be unconvincing up front so far this season, having been unable to hit the back of the net in 13 of their 23 league games. A number of teams visiting The Estadio José Zorrilla have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 5 clean sheets.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Mallorca. They came away from that fixture with a 40% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Mallorca, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. Based on their impressive scoring record, which includes goals in 10 of their away matches this season, their travelling support will feel confident of getting a good result on the road.
Espanyol will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 11 away league games.
José Joselu will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Espanyol.
Real Valladolid suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Espanyol the last time they met in the league.

Valladolid manager José 'Pacheta' Rojo Martín has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Robert Kenedy (Tendon), Jordi Masip (Ligament), Iván Sánchez (Leg) and Anuar Tuhami (Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Keidi Bare (Ligament) and Adrià Pedrosa (Hernia) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Diego Martínez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
