MADRID, 13 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Valencia and Real Valladolid seek this Sunday, against RC Celta in Balaídos (2:00 p.m.) and against Sevilla FC at José Zorrilla (6:30 p.m.), respectively, to move away from the relegation places, in a thirty-fourth day of LaLiga Santander in which the Galicians want to avoid scares in the last dates and the Nervionenses, dream of reaching the European positions.
In Vigo, the ‘che’ team urgently needs a victory that will allow them to continue out of the danger zone. At the start of the day, they had 34 points, the same ones that kept Getafe in the third to last place, the first to be relegated.
And it is that after adding two consecutive victories against Elche (0-2) and Real Valladolid (2-1), Rubén Baraja’s men fell in Cádiz (2-1) and last day they sealed a draw with Villarreal at home (1-1). Now, they will have to redirect the course without the suspended Thierry Correia and Edinson Cavani, who will have to complete the cycle, nor the injured Marcos André and Christian Mosquera, while Hugo Duro is doubtful due to muscular discomfort.
Celta, for their part, should not be neglected either if they do not want to be scared in the final stretch of the championship; After their most recent defeats against Villarreal (3-1) and Getafe (1-0) and with only one victory in their last seven games, the Galician team manages 39 units, five above relegation.
In addition, Carlos Carvalhal will have to replace this Sunday the casualties of Joseph Aidoo, sent off at the Coliseum, and Javi Galán, who will miss the appointment due to accumulation of cards. The injured Agustín Marchesín will not be there either, while the Portuguese coach remains attentive to the condition of Óscar Mingueza.
For their part, Real Valladolid will seek to distance themselves from the burning zone against Sevilla, who will have to recover from the emotional shock that caused Juventus’ draw (1-1) in the last minute of the first leg of the Europa League semifinals. .
The Pucelano team (35) has three consecutive defeats against Valencia (2-1), Atlético de Madrid (2-5) and Rayo Vallecano (2-1), results that have left them only one point above danger positions.
José Luis Mendilibar’s men, meanwhile, return to the domestic competition after a goal by Federico Gatti in the 97th minute allowed the ‘Vecchia Signora’ to suffer a defeat at the start of the tie.
Now, the Sevilla team will have to focus on LaLiga, where they have scored 12 of the last 15 points at stake, to face the challenge of reaching the continental zone, which after Osasuna’s defeat in the Copa del Rey final has become cheaper. with a seventh European access position. With 44 units, Girona’s seventh place is only three away.
Luis Pérez, Selim Amallah and Anuar will miss the appointment due to injury to the Blanquivioletas, while Darwin Machís is a doubt. Sevilla will not be able to count on Lucas Ocampos -injured against Juve- nor on Marcao, and Suso Fernández, Joan Jordán and Tanguy Nianzou will have to wait to find out if they are ready.
