In the 34th round of La Liga, already relegated Real Valladolid will host title contenders FC Barcelona at the Estadio José Zorrilla. The match will kick off at 21:00 on Saturday, May 3, 2025.
Team performance
Real Valladolid: The home team is having a very poor season, collecting just 16 points from 33 matches and are already certain of relegation to the second division. They have lost their last seven league matches, most recently a 5-1 defeat to Real Betis. The team's defense is particularly weak, with 81 goals conceded, the worst in the league.
FC Barcelona: The Catalans are top of the league, four points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid. Their last match was a 3-3 draw with Inter Milan in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. The team is aiming for a treble, having already won the Copa del Rey and are in contention to win the Champions League in addition to the league title.
Important missing items
Real Valladolid: The home team is missing several key players due to injury, including goalkeeper Karl Hein and defenders Javi Sánchez and Henrique Silva, which further complicates the team's already weak defense.
FC Barcelona: The visitors are without Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé, Marc Casadó and Marc Bernal due to injury. Alejandro Balde has returned to training but is a doubt. Head coach Hansi Flick is likely to rotate the team ahead of the upcoming Champions League semi-final second leg.
Tactical analysis
Real Valladolid: The home team is expected to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Andre Ferreira in goal. Antonio Candela, Eray Coemert, Cenk Ozkacar and Adam Aznou could be in defence. Stanko Juric and Selim Amallah could take on defensive duties in midfield, while Anuar, Chuki and Raul Moro could support the lone striker, Juanmi Latasa.
FC Barcelona: The visitors could also play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Marc-André ter Stegen returning to goal after a long injury layoff. Héctor Fort, Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen and Gerard Martin could be in defence. Frenkie de Jong and Gavi could control the midfield, while Pau Victor, Fermin Lopez and Ansu Fati could support Ferran Torres in the wedge role.
Weather conditions
The weather in Valladolid during the match is expected to be pleasant, spring-like, with temperatures around 20°C and light winds. Precipitation is unlikely, making the weather ideal for the game.
