Last season, Valladolid collected 72 points from 42 matches to finish in second place in the Segunda Division, securing them a La Liga return at the first time of asking.

Having experienced relegation in their last two top-flight campaign, Valladolid's main aim will be hoping to avoid the drop for the first time since finishing in 13th spot in 2019-20.

Valladolid would have been pleased to start the new campaign with a 1-0 win over last season's Segunda Division playoff winners Espanyol, but they were unable to spring a surprise in Sunday's away clash against European champions Real Madrid.

Although Valladolid produced a battling performance, second-half goals from Federico Valverde, Brahim Diaz and Endrick condemned Paulo Pezzolano's charges to a heavy 3-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After experiencing a tough road trip at the weekend, Valladolid face another difficult away game in Saturday's meeting with Barcelona, and with that in mind, they will be determined to claim a positive result in Wednesday's home game against Leganes, especially as they have lost just one of their previous seven head-to-head meetings.
