Pucela are winless in six matches following a 1-1 draw at relegation rivals Eibar last weekend. Valladolid remained in 18th spot on the league standings with the result and in the bottom three on goal difference. 
 
Real recorded a third straight win with a 2-0 victory over Valencia to remain five points behind crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid, who occupy top spot. Los Blancos midfielder Toni Kroos said that Real can't afford to drop any points if they are to have any chance of retaining their league crown. 

"The others just keep on winning so we have to try and do the same. If we want to have any chance of staying at the top we have to win all our games," said Kross. 

"Every game we play we always try to win. That's all we can do, it's what everyone else is doing so we have to try and do it too. We're worried about the injuries as we're missing some very important players but there's not much we can do about it."

A solitary strike from Vinicius Junior led Real to a 1-0 win over Valladolid in the reverse fixture in the Spanish capital earlier this season.
