Real Valladolid Vs Barcelona Preview

Tournament: La Liga

Date: Sunday, May 3

Kick-off time: 19:00 GMT

Venue: Jose Zorilla

Real Valladolid set to welcome table toppers Barcelona at the Jose Zorilla in Matchday 34 of the La Liga action aiming to return to winning ways.

Real Valladolid have endured a tough season this term as they languish bottom of the table after 33 matches. They have accumulated just 16 points this season and are surely getting relegated after a horrible season. Alvaro Rubio's side has lost their last seven matches in a row, having also conceded the most goals in the league this season with 81.

In the last match, they were hammered by Real Betis, who secured a dominating 5-1 victory over them. Mamadou Sylla is their top scorer this season with five goals, while Raul Moro leads the assists chart with three assists.

Barcelona, on the other hand, arguably have been the best side in the league this season and deservedly are leading at the top of the table. Hansi Flick's side are currently maintaining a four-point lead over Real Madrid with a El Clásico coming up, which will be the decider clash for them to decide the championship.

They are also doing great in the Champions League, having come from behind twice against Inter to register a 3-3 entertaining draw in the first leg. With Lamine Yamal and Raphinha fit and firing, they have every chance to win the remaining silverware. The Blaugrana are unbeaten in their last four matches, having secured three wins and one draw. Robert Lewandowski is their top scorer this season with 25 goals, and Lamine Yamal leads the assists chart with 12.

Real Valladolid Team News

Real Valladolid have a couple of injury concerns in their squad. Karl Hein is suffering from a shoulder injury, with his return date expected in late May. Elsewhere, there are two possible doubts for this match as Henrique Silva is dealing with physical discomfort, and ever-present Javi Sanchez suffered a knock in the last match.

Barcelona Team News

The Blaugrana suffered a blow in the last match as Jules Kounde suffered a foot injury, which will see him miss three weeks of action. He joins the list of Robert Lewandowski, Marc Casado, Marc Bernal, and Alejandro Balde to remain sidelined due to injuries. The good news for Barcelona is that Balde will be available for the second leg as he recovers from injury. Here also we might see Marc-Andre Ter Stegen start after making the squad in the last two matches.
