Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Jose Zorilla when Real Valladolid and Levante square off against each other in the Segunda Division derby on Saturday. La Pucela quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Ferrol, with the team beating Eibar 3-1 at home and you should know that they are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Levantinos, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over Leche, but given their poor winless run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Valladolid. Forward Dani Gomez is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner against los Franjiverdes, while midfielder Angel Algobia remains doubtful. In the first half of the season Levante defeated Valladolid 2-1 in Valencia, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

Founded in 1928, Real Valladolid play their home matches at Jose Zorilla, the venue that has the capacity 26,512.
