Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Real Valladolid will be looking to climb to automatic promotion berth when they welcome Real Sociedad B to their Estadio Jose Zorrilla. La Pucela are only one point behind top two, and, no doubt, they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Monday’s clash. Keep in mind, though, that all Monchu, Perez, Martinez, and Quevedo are banned for the match. The Basques, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Amorebieta which helped them keep their survival hopes alive.
Real Sociedad B, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Valladolid. In the first half of the season La Pucela defeated the Basque outfit 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Óscar Plano):
A Madrid-born attacking midfielder, Oscar Plano was given a unique opportunity not many footballers get at the beginning of their fledgling careers. As a talented youngster making his first football steps with a local side of Mostoles, Oscar Plano was soon grabbed by mighty Real Madrid.
Having spent eight years going through youth setups of the La Liga heavyweights, Plano was given his competitive debut at Real Madrid C in 2010. A season later earned him a promotion to Real Madrid’s B setup where in three seasons in total he made 63 league appearances and scored 7 goals. Having become fully aware that a chance to represent one of the biggest clubs in the world might be unachievable, Oscar Plano moved to Alcoron in 2014.
More than a 100 matches in three years at Santo Domingo made him one of the key players for Los Alfareros. The Spanish midfielder made a great contribution with helping Valladolid secure promotion to Spanish top flight in 2017/18 with 44 La Liga 2 appearances and 6 goals.
