Prediction: 1-1
Valladolid
Estadio Municipal de Castalia will host Friday’s La Liga 2 game between Castellon and Real Valladolid. The hosts aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Racing Santander, but they face yet another difficult task against La Pucela. Defender Alberto Jimenez is banned for the home team, while influential midfielder Israel Suero is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
Valladolid, on the other hand, produced a brilliant display in a 3-0 win over Ceuta in their season opener, but beating Castellon on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Estadio Municipal de Castalia and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Amallah and Ponceau are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Chuki will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of their last five meetings 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.
