Real Valladolid Preview: Messy on and off the pitch
President and owner Ronaldo has been reportedly trying to sell Real Valladolid but has also apparently been ignoring offers as he focused on a now failed campaign to become the president of the Brazilian football federation with Valladolid’s form on the pitch a mess.
Former Mexico boss Diego Cocca replaced Uruguayan coach Paulo Pezzolano in December and things have arguably got worse as they begin this match day sitting rock-bottom and 11 points adrift of safety, most recently losing 2-0 to Real Sociedad last weekend.
Getafe Preview: Jose Bordalas’ Getafe
In his second stint in charge of the club, Getafe have once again been punching above their weight with a limited squad under the management of Jose Bordalas. Their form on the road has been very impressive and allowed them to move into the middle-of-the-table.
The Madrid-based outfit did suffer a 2-1 defeat at home to Villarreal in their most recent outing last weekend. They went behind to a 15th minute strike from Ayoze Perez before equalising before the half-hour mark via Carles Perez but then Thierno Barry won the game shortly after.

Real Valladolid vs Getafe Prediction
Real Valladolid are a very poor side and are heading down to the second division once again with their relegation expected to be mathematically confirmed at some point in April. They now face a Getafe side that have propelled themselves into the middle-of-the-table with an impressive bit of form on the road. They are firm favourites for this one in what is expected to be a low-scoring and fairly gritty affair.
