Valladolid vs Eibar Prediction & Betting Tips (24 March)

Relegated from La Liga last season, Valladolid quite logically wants to return to the highest level of Iberian football and currently finds itself involved in the race for the playoffs with 48 points and a 7th place at the start of this day. La Pucela has not found its rhythm lately with two successes at home against Real Oviedo, competitor in the race for the top 6 3-0 and against Zaragoza 2-0 and two defeats in the meantime away on the pitch of FC Andorra 2-1 and last weekend on the lawn of the promoted, Racing Ferrol 2-0. To mention only the aspect of home matches, the locals of the day have not lost in four receptions for a record of 3 victories. It has now been three years since Eibar sought to return to La Liga but stumbled each time in the money-time playoffs.

This season, in order to avoid a Dantesque scenario as was the case during the two previous campaigns, the Basques want to finish directly in the top 2 or even champions to return to the elite but are for the moment forced to occupy 4th level with 52 points, four behind the leader, Leganes, at the start of this day. Last weekend, Armeros did not even leave crumbs to Villarreal B at home 2-0, somewhat suffering his avoidable defeat for the visit of Burgos six days earlier 0-1.

Excluded last weekend, the starting central defender Tarrega (loaned for the second part of the season by Valencia) will logically be suspended for this part. This is ultimately the only major absence to be reported at La Pucela (also deprived of the long-term injured Javi Sanchez) who will be able to count on the former Valencia scorer, Marcos Andre (2 goals, 3 assists this season) or even on the Senegalese Sylla (6 goals, 2 assists) and Ndiaye (5 pawns in just 7 appearances) and Monchu (5 goals, 2 goals). Opposite, the Basque team will still be deprived of Correa (defender, rotation).

For the rest, it's classic because the uncertainty surrounding the holder Tejero was lifted last weekend following his participation in the match against Villarreal B. As a result, major elements like Jon B (11 goals, 2 assists), Stoichkov (9 goals, 5 assists) or the thirty-year-old Aketxe (8 pawns, 4 pancakes in the championship) will be traveling to the Estadio José Zorrilla.
