Latest football commentary Real Valladolid vs Alaves

Real Valladolid are counting down the days to the end of a disastrous La Liga season, having failed to make any impact since returning to Spain's top flight this season.

This team, which is certain to be relegated, has only won 4, drawn 4 and lost 28 of 36 matches played, 16 points behind the team above them, Las Palmas.

Since their last win against Real Betis in January, Valladolid have picked up just one point from their last 17 La Liga games.

Coach Alvaro Rubio's team have lost 10 consecutive matches, including a 0-1 loss to Girona on Tuesday, when Cristhian Stuani scored in the 80th minute.

If Valladolid lose again this weekend, they will equal the record for the longest losing streak in La Liga history – 11 games – currently set by Las Palmas in the 1959-60 season.

Despite low morale, Valladolid still have a chance to complete a double victory over Alaves for the second time in La Liga history, after winning 3-2 in the first leg in October.

On the other hand, Alaves is holding a big advantage in the relegation race, having only lost 1 of the last 5 matches (won 2, drawn 2).

They kept a third consecutive home clean sheet with a 1-0 win over Valencia on Wednesday, with Joan Jordan scoring from the spot after a controversial VAR decision.

That victory helped Alaves widen the gap with 18th-placed Leganes to 4 points, while there are only two rounds left in the season (against Valladolid and Osasuna).

If they beat Valladolid on Sunday, Alaves will secure their third consecutive La Liga season. They could even be safe even without a win if Leganes fail to beat Las Palmas.

Alaves’ away form hasn’t been particularly impressive, but they have avoided defeat in five of their last six trips (D4 L1). The only defeat in that run came against Athletic Bilbao.

The away team also has reason to be confident as they have won 4/5 of their most recent visits to Valladolid's Estadio Jose Zorrilla, including a 2-0 victory in the most recent visit in October 2020.
