Valladolid and Barcelona they see the faces, in the stadium Jose Zorrilla, in the fifteenth day of LaLiga Santander. The blaugrana need the three points after drawing, last weekend, against the Valencia at Camp Nou (2-2).
The team of Ronald Koeman currently occupies the fifth position in the leaderboard with 21 points, four points behind Villarreal, that occupies the fourth place with 25, but a party more than the culés. He Barça has added 10 points from the last 15 and visits a complicated field, with a Valladolid upward.
For this match the youngster is confirmed low Ansu Fati, who still has several weeks due to the meniscus injury for which he was operated, as well as Gerard Piqué and Sergi Roberto, who also have injuries that will have them unemployed for several weeks.
Barcelona need to improve their level to get into the positions of Champions League and get closer to Atlético and Real Madrid, who are currently at the top of the standings (the colchoneros still have one game less than the Blaugrana), especially when it comes to avoiding transitions when they lose the ball. The counterattacks do a lot of damage to the defense, who also now plays with two very young players like Mingueza and Ronald Araújo, from the quarry. It will be necessary to see if today Koeman chooses to re-entitle Lenglet, who had had matches of a low level.
He Valladolid of Sergio Gonzalez, meanwhile, comes from achieving a valuable draw to one against the Seville, in the stadium Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Although the Blanquivioletas are still in a relegation position, since they occupy the eighteenth place, they have managed to add two wins and eight points from the last fifteen at stake, with a very tough schedule, since they have played against him Atlético de Madrid at Metropolitan Wanda (2-0 lost) and the aforementioned match against Seville in their field, and now they receive the Barcelona.
