Real Valladolid will host Leganes at the Jose Zorrilla on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Segunda Division campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid league campaign and are making an early push for the promotion playoffs. They beat Racing de Santander in their last game, with Anuar heading home the opener before former Chelsea man Kenedy came off the bench to score a brace and win the game for Paulo Pezzolano's team.
Real Valladolid sit third in the league table with 28 points from 15 games. They are six points behind their weekend opponents at the top of the pile and will be looking to reduce that gap with maximum points on home turf this Friday.
Leganes have performed brilliantly in the Spanish second tier this season and are looking to secure promotion to La Liga after a four-season absence. They beat Levante 2-1 last time out, with Miguel de la Fuente and Dani Raba getting on the scoresheet in the second half to overturn an early deficit.
