Real Valladolid

Currently struggling in the league, Real Valladolid are trying to turn their fortunes around. Their recent form has been patchy at best, but the return of key player Raúl Moro adds a glimmer of hope. His presence could rejuvenate their attacking potential, which has been lacking lately. Home advantage is a significant factor, and Valladolid will be banking on the support of their fans to give them the boost they need.

Las Palmas

Las Palmas have been relatively steady this season. They’re not facing immediate relegation threats, but a dip in form could quickly change that.

Nonetheless, Las Palmas have shown resilience and have players capable of making a difference in tight games.

Key Players

• Real Valladolid: Raúl Moro – his return is expected to bolster Valladolid’s attacking options.
• Las Palmas: Jonathan Viera – a creative force in the midfield who can unlock defences with his vision and passing.

Tactical Expectations
