The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Real Valladolid take on SD Huesca at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium on Friday. Both teams have struggled this season and need to prove a point in this match.
Real Valladolid are currently in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have managed only five points from their last six games. The home side held Levante to a 2-2 draw last weekend and will want to put in a similar effort this weekend.
SD Huesca are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga table and have struggled to cope with the demands of the Spanish top-flight. The Aragonese outfit played out a 0-0 stalemate against Unai Emery's Villarreal side in its previous game and will have to take it up a notch on Friday.
Real Valladolid vs SD Huesca Head-to-Head
Real Valladolid and SD Huesca are on a fairly even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won six games apiece out of a total of 15 matches that the two teams have played against each other.
The previous game between the two La Liga teams took place in October last year and ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw. Rafa Mir scored on the day and will play a pivotal role in this match.
