FC Andorra

vs

Real Valladolid

Preview

FC Andorra

• FC Andorra have lost just one of their last five matches (W3, D1, L1) heading into Sunday’s showdown with Real Valladolid in the Pyrenees.
• FC Andorra have won their last two matches, beating Racing Santander 6-2 at home before a 1-0 away win over Cadiz.
• They are at their most dangerous when in transition, with Josep Cerda their danger man, having scored eight times in 16 LaLiga 2 appearances this season.
• Andorra are ninth in the table on 49 points from 35 games.

Real Valladolid

• Real Valladolid have failed to score in their last two away fixtures (L2).
• Valladolid are coming off a run of one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five outings, during which they thrashed Cadiz 3-0 at home, lost 1-0 away at Cultural Leonesa and drew 0-0 with Eibar.
• The 4-2-3-1 system is a compact one in which Valladolid can be very pragmatic when they need to be, but they need to be more adventurous in the wide areas if they are to create enough chances to beat Andorra.
• Valladolid have won four, drawn five and lost eight of their 17 away fixtures in LaLiga 2 and have a leaky defence, shipping 28 goals.
