The Valladolid are involved in the fight for the permanence, while the Castellón seek to take a new step to ensure the Europa League, with their sights also set on the final they have to play in this competition at the end of the month.
The Valladolid it is seventeenth from the table with 31 points, just one more than they have in the relegation zone Huesca and Elche and two above the bottom Eibar. The Basques, precisely, were the ones who got the most out of the last day, since they won their game and both Valladolid and Aragonese and Alicante lost theirs.
The team of Sergio Gonzalez fell forcefully into Mestalla before him Valencia for 3-0, in another direct duel against a rival who took a breath to seal the permanence. Two so many of Maxi Gomez and one of Thierry Correia caused a resounding defeat of a Valladolid that he needs to get up in this match to avoid even more trouble.
The reason is that blanquiviolets They have not won for eight consecutive games, since they have not done it since they beat by 2-1 to the Getafe on March 6. Since then they have drawn six games and lost three and, although they are not in the relegation places before this day, their situation is extreme.
