Valladolid host Sevilla on Saturday as Julen Lopetegui's side look to consolidate their place in the top four of La Liga.
Sevilla are currently fourth in the league, three points off Real Madrid in third, and have been in good form of late.
Julen Lopetegui's side are on a three-game unbeaten streak and look to have gotten out of the rough patch of form they suffered last month.
Meanwhile, Sergio Soriano's Valladolid have had a torrid season and find themselves in a relegation scrap. The Albivioletas are currently 16th in La Liga, only three points off the drop zone.
Soriano's side have been unbeaten in their last three games, but the Spaniard will need his side to start picking up victories if they are to avoid relegation.
Sevilla need to win this game to have a chance of finishing in the top three this season.
Valladolid vs Sevilla Head-to-Head
The recent head-to-head record between the two sides does not make for good reading as far as Valladolid is concerned. Sevilla are unbeaten in their last five clashes, having won three meetings against the Albivioletas.
The honors were shared between the two sides in the reverse fixture earlier this season as the match ended 1-1.
