This Saturday, Real Valladolid, red lantern of the Liga, challenges Real Madrid, leader of the championship, in a clarification with striking contrast. While the Merengues are trying to consolidate their place in the lead, Valladolid is desperately looking to revive in a complicated season.
Real Madrid, a relentless dynamic
In great shape, the Spanish champion arrives at this meeting with a series of three consecutive victories in all competitions. After a bitter setback in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against FC Barcelona, the men of Carlo Ancelotti rectified the shot by beating Celta Vigo, Las Palmas, and the Red Bull Salzburg. This last success provided them with a place in dams in the Champions League, proof that the Madrilenians gradually regain their offensive shine.
In the league, the Merengues, with 46 points in 20 days, dominate the ranking. They remain under the threat of an Atlético Madrid in great shape, but a victory in Valladolid would allow them to maintain their advance, or even to increase it in the event of a faux step of their rivals. With a favorable calendar before the Madrid derby in early February, this meeting seems to be an ideal opportunity to garner three additional points.
Mbappé still holder with Real.
Valladolid, the urgency to wake up
For Valladolid, the objective is clear: avoid sinking more. With only 15 points in 20 games, the chips occupy the last place in the ranking. However, encouraging signs have appeared recently, such as their victories against Valence and Betis at home. But the defeat against Espanyol on the last day confirmed the difficulties of Diego Coca's men to maintain an essential regularity to escape relegation.
In search of a feat, Valladolid will have to break a black series of six consecutive defeats against Casa Blanca, a complicated mission in the face of a team with full confidence. However, history recalls that surprises are possible: their last success at home against the Merengues dates back to November 2008. The locals hope to be inspired by this previous one to relaunch their season.
