Real Valladolid, Recent FormReal Valladolid manager José 'Pacheta' Rojo Martín will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Elche. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Elche who had 24 attempts and 10 on target.
It's fair to say that 'Pacheta' Rojo Martín will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling him of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games. They have not found any consistency in front of goal this season, having been unable to find the back of the net in 13 of their 25 league matches this season.
It's been a mixed run of form for Valladolid recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Real Valladolid, Cyle Larin will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormThe Athletic Bilbao players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Barcelona recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with a 37% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Barcelona, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Oihan Sancet 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 Athletic Bilbao.
Real Valladolid will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Athletic Bilbao, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
