"Luis Tevenet's side are scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the Segunda standings and they have a real battle on their hands in the race to find a route into the play-off places. Last seen at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium getting hit with a toothless 1-0 loss against Andorra, the former Atletico Madrid coach has seen his downbeat squad register just a single win from any of their previous seven consecutive Segunda appearances - a rut that stems back to November 3rd."
"Heading into Spain's festive break leading the chase at the top of the Segunda standings, Jose Alberto Lopez's men hold a three-point buffer over the chasing pack and they will be looking to make another heavyweight statement here. Extending on their Copa del Rey adventure last month as they secured a stunning 2-1 victory against Champions League outfit Villarreal, the Whites are unbeaten in all of their previous eight appearances across all competitions."
Real Valladolid were relegated from La Liga last season and began 2025/26 aiming for an immediate return to the top flight. The hosts have dropped to the bottom half of the Segunda after a 3-0 reverse at Eibar and a toothless 1-0 home defeat to Andorra. Valladolid have registered only one win in their last seven Segunda matches, just one point from their last three Castile and Leon showdowns, and only one home victory since mid-September. Racing Santander lead the Segunda by three points, are unbeaten in eight matches across competitions, and notably beat Villarreal 2-1 in the Copa del Rey.
