Prediction: 1-1
Valladolid
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Cartagena and Eldense, Real Valladolid will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Amorebieta at Lezama Facilities. La Pucela have been producing fine displays of late, but they need to keep on winning if they are to secure automatic La Liga promotion. Forward Ndiaye Diedhiou is sidelined with a thigh injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
The Basques, meanwhile, are fighting tooth and nail to secure yet another Segunda Division survival. As Amorebieta are tough to beat at home, we predict that they are going to hold the promotion hopefuls to a draw this weekend. As for the home side, midfielder Angel Troncho is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In-form attacker Eneko Jauregi is widely expected to lead the line for the home team.
Highlighted Player (Jordi Masip):
Jordi Masip is yet another La Masia product. Masip began his youth career at Mercantil, but in 2004 he joined the famous Barcelona football academy. The 180-cm-tall goalkeeper was struggling to establish himself as a first-team regular in Barcelona at senior level, but he played for Barca B in Segunda Division from 2008 to 2014.
After making 79 appearances for Barcelona B, Jordi Masip finally made his senior debut for the Catalan giants on December 16, 2014 in a 8-1 win over Huesca. The two teams faced in Copa del Rey and it has to be noted that Masip made his La liga debut for Barca in a 2-2 draw with Deportivo La Coruna in May, 2014.
In 2017 the Spanish shot-stopper born in Sabadell signed a three-year deal with Real Valladolid. Masip quickly established himself as a first-team regular at La Pucela and you should know that he managed to keep 11 clean sheets in 42 appearances for the club in the 2017/2018 Segunda Division campaign.

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.
