Girona‘s battle to remain in Spain’s top flight will continue on Tuesday evening, when they make the trip to basement side Real Valladolid.
The visitors are currently 15th in the La Liga table, four points outside of the relegation zone with three games left, while Real Valladolid will play in the Segunda Division next season after a disastrous campaign.
Real Valladolid suffered a ninth straight La Liga defeat on Saturday, going down 2-1 to Mallorca, and it is now just 16 points from their 35 league matches this season, which has left them rooted to the bottom of the division.
Real Valladolid are comfortably the lowest goalscorers in the division, only finding the back of the net on 26 occasions, while they have incredibly conceded 85 times, with their defensive record staggering.
Alvaro Rubio‘s side will take on Alaves and Leganes in their final two league games of the season, so the relegated outfit will have a huge say in terms of which teams join them in the Segunda Division next term.
Girona, meanwhile, will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Villarreal, and the Catalan outfit are not yet out of the woods when it comes to the relegation battle in the final stages of the season.
Real Valladolid’s last couple of performances have been much better, but they are such a difficult side to back due to their struggles this season, and we fancy Girona to collect a gigantic three points in their battle to stay above the relegation zone.
