Valencia is not yet saved despite the fact that it maintains seven points with the relegation zone (it would be six if Valladolid scores this Thursday against Athletic). There are 15 left at stake and at least he would need six more to stay out of trouble. The latest results have gotten them in trouble when a month ago the permanence was taken for granted.
And if things have been turning black for Valencia with their results, the calendar does not clarify the panorama. Of the five rivals he has left to face, all of them play things for the league championship or for permanence. To begin with, the next contender, in Mestalla, will be the Barcelona, which arrives in mid-flight in the fight for the League. In fact, he would arrive as a leader if he beat Granada on Thursday. And then will visit the Valencia field the Valladolid, the first team that marks the descent, in what is supposed to be an all or nothing for the Chés. Later, will pay a visit to Sevilla to finish, in the last two league games against Eibar, at home, and against Huesca, at El Alcoraz.
Three enemies from above and three from the tail. But precisely Valencia have been much better at teams that occupy positions from 10 upwards than of the last 10. Specifically, Valencia He has only added 16 points against the teams in the middle table down and 20 points against the top ten classified. (@iojavime).
