La Liga Preview
It has been a disappointing season to this point for Valencia, but they still have an opportunity to secure their top-flight status. Valencia comes into this Thursday’s fixture against Valladolid sitting 18th in the standings, but they could move out of the bottom three places with a home victory. The hosts picked up a much-needed home win in their previous match, which ended a four-game winless streak.
Valencia will be boosted by their previous win against Elche, and they will be looking to win back-to-back games in La Liga for the first time since March 2022 on Thursday. They have an excellent record in league fixtures played on a Thursday, as they are unbeaten in their previous seven home matches. Over that period, they have recorded six wins.
Real Valladolid should come into this fixture in a positive mood, as they have gone three without defeat in the league. They have also picked up victories in each of their previous two matches, which has moved them five points above the relegation places in the current standings.
However, unlike Valencia, they have a poor record in fixtures played on a Thursday. They have lost all six matches that they have played away from home on a Thursday, and they have failed to score in five matches. However, they come into this match after picking up a positive 1-0 success at home against Girona in their previous outing.
