Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Ferrol will be looking to put an end to their six-game winless run in Segunda Division when they take on Real Valladolid on Sunday afternoon. Ferrol do not seem to be at their sharpest, but a win over Valladolid will see them stay in the playoffs race. Sergio Cubero is banned for the match, while all Alvaro Vadillo, Chuca, and Luca Ferrone remain on the sidelines with injuries.
La Pucela, on the other hand, did well to beat Zaragoza 2-0 at home at the weekend, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Paulo Pezzolano should have a full squad to choose from. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous four meetings between the two sides in the Spanish second tier.
Highlighted Team (Valladolid):
Real Valladolid is a Spanish club based in Valladolid, the part of the autonomous community of Castille and Leon. Founded in 1928, Real Valladolid play their home matches at Jose Zorilla, the venue that has the capacity 26,512. La Pucela have yet to win the La Liga title, but it is important to note that they finished fourth at the end of the 1962/1963 season.
Real Valladolid made it to the Spanish Cup final on two occasions (1949/1950, 1988/1989). In 1984 they won Copa de la Liga (League Cup), which is considered the team’s biggest success. Speaking of their European records, Real Valladolid participated in the 1989/1990 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-finals.
La Pucela are well known for their purple and white shirts, but they are known for some top-class footballers as well. The likes of Diego Costa, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Borja Fernandez, Rene Higuita, Luis Garcia and Aritz Aduriz played for Real Valladolid in the past.
