Valladolid vs Gijon Prediction & Betting Tips (11 August)

One season then Valladolid is back at the lower echelon. Indeed, promoted two years ago in La Liga, the Blanquivioletas did not manage to maintain themselves at the highest level and yet had the cards in hand on the final day by welcoming a direct candidate for maintenance, Getafe but the A goalless draw was not enough to stay 0-0. It's all the more unfortunate since Ronaldo Nazario's club had made the effort three days earlier to take the 3 points against FC Barcelona 3-1, thus letting themselves believe in a miracle.

During the off-season, Valladolid participated in several friendly matches, five in total for a neutral record of two wins against Rayo Majadahonda 2-0 then Rayo Vallecano 3-2 but also two defeats against Leganes 4-1 then on the lowest score against Mirandes 1-0.

Transferred last winter to the club from Club Brugge, the Canadian international, Larin will have given everything to avoid the worst at the club (8 goals, 3 assists in 19 appearances) by being the best scorer in the workforce. In vain, it was not enough and the latter was obviously transferred this summer to Mallorca following his good market value on the transfer market. Note that Roque Mesa has not extended his lease and now remains free of any contract in the same way as Alvaro Aguado (34 appearances in the top flight last year) while Gonzalo Plata (5 assists) has made the decision to continue his career in Qatar (Al-Sadd). Still in the departures, Lucas Olaza did not want to drag on (Krasnodar, transfer), Darwin Machis (11 apps) was sent on loan to Cadiz and at the same time joined Sergio Guardiola (already at Cadiz on loan l last year). However, La Pucela still freely signed Cesar de la Hoz (ex-Almeria) and obtained the loan of Moro Raul (Lazio).

For tonight, note the uncertainties around Javi Sachez (37 apps last year in La Liga) and David Torres (rotation). On the Sporting Gijon side, Aitor Garcia (6 goals) joined Juarez (Mexico) freely, Cristo (5 goals) returned to Udinese (end of loan) before being sent back on loan to Arouca (Portugal) while Pedro Diaz (4 goals, 5 assists) joined Bordeaux in the form of a transfer. Remaining at the club, Zarfino (3 goals, 2 patties) and Queipo (3 achievements) are on the floor (injured) and should miss the call tonight like Bamba (7 appearances last season), the brother of Raphael Varane, Jonathan Varane (2 assists in 17 apps last year) then the manager in the defensive sector, Guillermo Rosas (35 appearances last year). Never used at Villarreal, the Frenchman Haissem Hassan arrived this summer on loan and will probably be on the scoresheet like Uros Djurdjevic (5 goals last year) or Juan Otero (6 pawns last season) and rookie Rober Pier (free, Levante).
