Victory for the Fans
On November 3, the autumn chill was settling in as Real Valladolid faced Granada, emerging victorious with a narrow 1-0 win. This match featured a controversial penalty, successfully converted by Chuki in the 87th minute. However, since that game, Valladolid has struggled at home, failing to secure another victory for over two months.
As of now, the team has performed poorly at their Zorrilla stadium compared to away games. After playing 11 matches both at home and away, Valladolid has only amassed 13 points from home games, marked by three wins and four losses. Their only significant win was a decisive 3-0 against Ceuta, with late goals coming in a 3-1 victory over Almería. Fans have been left disappointed, as the team has drawn four times and lost four at home.
Challenges Ahead for Real Valladolid
Coach Tevenet faces two crucial challenges. First, he aims for consistency; a single win should not lead to a series of defeats. Second, strengthening their home performance is vital, as this is crucial for securing points. It is essential for Real Valladolid to win consecutively, especially in front of their dedicated fans.
Potential Game Plan
Tevenet may stick with the same lineup that led to success against Ceuta, featuring:
- Guilherme (Goalkeeper)
- Alejo (Defender)
- Martínez (Defender)
- Torres (Defender)
- Hugo San (Defender)
- Meseguer (Midfielder)
- Juric (Midfielder)
- Federico (Winger)
- Canós (Winger)
- Chuki (Attacking Midfielder)
- Latasa (Striker)
Upcoming Match: Valladolid vs. Albacete
Albacete arrives at Zorrilla with confidence after eliminating Real Madrid in the knockout round and winning a league match against Cádiz. They are currently in good form, having earned four points from their last six. This momentum will serve as an additional challenge to Real Valladolid as they seek to deliver a victory for their fans.
