Zorrilla, mined land for Granada in his 15 visits

Granada will meet this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. its seventh visit in the First Division Real Valladolid and so far they have only won once, with two draws and three victories for Real Valladolid.

That victory of the set Nasrid arrived on the last day of the campaign 2013-14 and it served for the Andalusians to maintain the category while the team led by Juan Ignacio Martínez, alias JIM, ended up descending. Unforgettable the previous press conference of the then Real Valladolid coach in which he declared that would not change for Granada, despite the fact that they depended on themselves, while Real Valladolid after their painful defeat in the Betis field the previous day was already almost in the Second Division without depending on themselves. The match ended 0-1 (Mitrovic's own goal). Without a doubt, a campaign and a game to forget.

There are three crashes in First in the XXI century, in addition to the aforementioned, there is that of the 2019-20 campaign in which the match ended 1-1 with goals from Oscar Plano and Carlos Fernández. The third game to remember was in the 2012-13 campaign and ended with 1-0 for the local team thanks to a goal from Manucho.

The other three games in the highest category you have to blook them much further back in the time. The oldest is that of the 1957-58 what ended 1-1 for Valladolid in the old Zorrilla with a goal from Ríos for Granada in the 20th minute and the draw was achieved by Gijón in the 75th minute. That season Valladolid fell, so it was necessary to wait until the 1959-60 to see Granada again on the banks of the Pisuerga. The crash is over 3-2 with goals from Morollón, Mirlo and the Argentine Aramendi and the reply was given to the visiting team Mauri who signed a double.

The sixth preceding is also the most bulky result for the local team, 4-0 in the 1960-61 campaign thanks to the goals of Zaldúa, Endériz and Ramírez twice. That campaign was of little use to that victory as the team led by Eguiluz ended up descending again.

In addition to the six matches played in the First Division, there are other nine in the Second Division and the balance clearly favors the local team with seven wins, a draw and a single victory of Granada, which added to the one achieved in First add two only victories in 15 visits between First and Second to which we must add three draws (one in Second and two in First).
