The home side is currently positioned 20th, with 16 points accrued from 4 wins, 4 draws and 27 losses. In their penultimate match, they lost at home to FC Barcelona with a score of 1-2. Most recently, they were defeated away by Mallorca, losing 2-1. The team performs better at home, as shown by their last 30 matches, where they have managed only 1 draw and 14 losses as visitors compared to 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses on home turf. In their last 10 home league games, Valladolid has gained just 7 points from a possible 30. The most common end result at half-time at their home games has been 0-0, occurring in 7 of their 17 matches. While the defence has struggled, conceding in all of their last 10 matches, the attack has been somewhat consistent, finding the net in 8 of those games. Historically, Valladolid has been slow to score first, having only done so in 8 of their last 35 La Liga matches, with only 3 of these yielding victory by the final whistle. They have turned the score around successfully in just 1 out of 25 matches when conceding first. Interestingly, of their 11 goals scored at home, 4 were netted between the 46th and 60th minutes.

Real Valladolid returns to their stadium following a 2-1 defeat against Mallorca, where Chuki was the sole player to score for the team. With relegation already confirmed, manager Álvaro Rubio is keen to end the season with some dignity. The tactic will likely stick with the traditional 4-3-3 formation, featuring Chuki, Juanmi Latasa, and Raúl Moro in attack. The right flank will be pivotal for transitions, with Luis Pérez heavily involved in offensive plays. All players are available for this fixture.
