For the second time this season, Real Valladolid has chained two consecutive defeats, a scenario experienced already in the first days, in which they managed to add three in a row. After falling at the Carlos Tartiere against Real Oviedo, the setback against Las Palmas ended the more than six months unbeaten by Zorrillawhere Pacheta’s team had not fallen precisely since that first negative streak that raised so many doubts.
188 days passed between that twelfth of September and this Saturday, in which the two canaries gave an account of the people of Valladolid. Meanwhile, they came to sleep leaders one night and get four consecutive victories, between the end of 2021 and January, in addition to reaching the eight wins in a row at home. In total, until the (re)passing of Viera, Moleiro and company, thirteen were the rivals unable to make Pucela bend the knee at home.
Faced with the often mentioned particularities of playing on the islands, mainly in the Canary Islands, there is the curious circumstance that the three island groups have ‘scratched’ in Valladolid: if Tenerife won more clearly in the result than in the game, Las Palmas did it the other way around; He was clearly dominant during many sections and barely won by the minimum. For its part, Ibiza, in the first round, undeservedly rescued a point at the very last minute.
However, when the day closes, Pucela will continue to be third, no matter what happens in the rest of the games, since Tenerife is their main pursuer, three points behind, although with a favorable goal score for the blanquivioletas. However, depending on what Almería does at the home of the people from Tenerife and what Eibar does on their visit to Ponferradina this Sunday, the gap with direct ascent could go up to four points.
