Valladolid hosts Osasuna in round 13 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, December 11th at Estadio José Zorrilla (Valladolid)
Valladolid found itself in the penultimate place. The team is not classified as a grandee or even a middle peasant in La Liga. Still, the team has managed to gain enough points to finish above the relegation zone for several years in a row. And this is the merit of Sergio Gonzalez Soriano. This coach is not too famous, but he is more than suitable for the level of the club. However, this time the club had a disgusting start. There were no victories in the first eight rounds, and the team gained only three points. It would seem that the turning point came in December when Valladolid managed to consistently beat Athletic Bilbao and Granada. Nevertheless, the team couldn’t build on the progress: at first, the victory over Levante slipped away due to a goal in the 83rd minute, and December began with a 0-2 defeat to Atlético.

Osasuna is struggling to find its best shape. The Reds returned to Primera in the previous season. Jagoba Arrasate and his team were praised for separation from the canons: instead of the classic and shopworn barkers propagating anti-football, a distinctive team arose from Segunda. However, that drive has disappeared. Osasuna managed to start with a victory over Cadiz on the road, and the team had an October streak that brought seven points in three rounds. Then a new recession started, and the team didn’t manage to get out of it. Osasuna took only one point in five matches, having tied with modest Huesca at home (1:1). Moreover, Pamplona scored only one goal in that segment. Failures were attributed to a difficult calendar since the Reds had to play with Sevilla, Atlético, and Barcelona. But on December 6, Jagoba Arrasate's men lost to Betis (0:2), which also could not please the fans with a successful game for a long time.
Both teams need to win, but they are unlikely to show spectacular football. The first goal can decide everything, and a goalless draw cannot be ruled out. We think the upcoming match is unlikely to be rich in goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
