Real Valladolid vs Celta Vigo Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 561

Both Valladolid and Celta Vigo will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in La Liga when they face off at the Jose Zorrilla in their Matchday 10 tie on Wednesday night.

Valladolid have been struggling to put together any real run of form this season in La Liga. The newly promoted side suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Espanyol last time out in the top flight, making it their second winless game in the league as they were previously coming off a 0-0 home draw with Real Betis.

Valladolid have now won just one of their last five league matches, suffering three defeats in the run. They will be looking to turn around their league fortunes as soon as possible as they currently sit just one point above the relegation zone in 17^th on eight points.

However a win on Wednesday could leave Pacheta’s side sitting as high as 11^th as they are only two points off 11^th-placed Celta Vigo. This should a motivation in itself as they play Celta on Wednesday, and they have not lost to them in the last four home meetings.

Celta have also been struggling for form this season and they suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Real Sociedad last time out, making it back-to-back and their fourth defeat in the last five league matches.

The run has seen Celta drop to their current 11^th place in the league standings and further setback on Wednesday could see them drop as low as 17^th. Therefore, Eduardo Coudet’s side will be desperate to bounce back to winning ways in this clash, but have much to amend before the tie.
