Espanyol-Real Valladolid, the probable formations

The 20th day of La Liga opens with an important salvation clash between Espanyol and Real Valladolid, respectively third-last and second-last in the league. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at RCDE Stadium. The hosts will try to regain a success that has been missing since last Nov. 30 (3-1 at Celta Vigo), while the Whites will try to give continuity to the narrow success achieved with Real Betis in the previous round of the championship.

Gonzalez is expected to rely on Puado as the only forward. In midfield, Tejero, Lozano and Kral will make up the central dike, with Roca and Carreras on the outsides. In defense, trust former Roma man Kumbulla to pair with Cabrera. Cocca, on the other hand, should bet on the offensive trident composed of André, Tuhami and Moro. In the median will act Kike Pérez, Juric and Martin.
