Real Valladolid will be aiming to make it successive wins in La Liga for the first time since April 2024 when they continue their campaign with a clash against fellow strugglers Espanyol on Friday night.
The visitors, who are 19th in the La Liga table, will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 success over Real Betis, while 18th-placed Espanyol played out a 1-1 draw with Leganes in their last clash.
Espanyol have a record of four wins, four draws and 11 defeats from their 19 league matches this season, which has left them in 18th spot in the division, one point behind 17th-placed Alaves and one point ahead of 19th-placed Real Valladolid.
Manolo Gonzalez‘s side have the joint-second worst defensive record in the league this season, conceding 31 times in their 19 matches, and that will need to improve in order to stand a chance of avoiding relegation in 2024-25.
The Catalan outfit have actually drawn three of their last four league games, including a 1-1 with Leganes last time out, but they have not been victorious since a 3-1 home success over Celta Vigo at the end of November.
There has not been a La Liga draw between these two sides since October 2018, but we are struggling to separate them on this occasion. Real Valladolid have struggled badly on their travels during the 2024-25 campaign, but we are expecting the White and Violets to be good enough to secure a share of the spoils on Friday night.
