Real Valladolid vs Mallorca Match Preview
In an interesting La Liga clash, Valladolid will welcome Real Mallorca at the Jose Zorilla stadium. This match will kick off at 16:00 GMT on Sunday just like the Xerez vs Espanyol, Sporting Gijon vs Osasuna, Villarreal vs Deportivo, and Racing Santander vs Almeria matches.
Valladolid are currently fighting to move out of the relegation zone. How positive will the outcome be at the end of the 90 minutes?
Well, Valladolid are locked on 20 points like Tenerife and they seat 18th in La Liga table.
They would enjoy a boost of confidence ahead of this weekend’s encounter if Tenerife lose ‘predictably’ to Real Madrid on Saturday night.
Real Mallorca however dropped to sixth in the standings after losing twice on the trot. Ironically, one of these defeats occurred away to Valladolid’s bottom rivals Tenerife.
The goal on Sunday for Real Mallorca will be to put their campaign back on track. A Champions League spot is at stake but at the moment, they must be content in their Europa League zone.
Turning things around and surprising the likes of Sevilla – against which they lost 3-1 on Day 23 – suggest that Mallorca should not miss opportunities against low ranked teams in La Liga table.
Sunday’s visitors will move up to 5th in the standings if they avoid defeat and if Deportivo La Coruna lose away to the wounded Yellow Submarines of Villarreal.
