Ziganda wants to get his hands on Valladolid to take Oviedo back to the path of victory and bets on Javi Mier as the most outstanding novelty in midfield. He will fill in for Jimmy, alternate today. The team will play, according to the club, with a 4-3-3 although Luismi’s position could vary depending on the circumstances of the match: Femenías; Isaac, Costas, Calvo, Lucas; Viti, Mier, Luismi, Burgman, Borja Sánchez; Borja Baston.
Winning Valladolid would keep Oviedo alive in the fight. And it would add, incidentally, new doses of morale for a fierce race with more candidates than expected. It’s not just beating a favourite, it’s doing it against the best Second team at the moment. Pacheta’s men beat Oviedo in Zorrila (2-1) in a clash in which the Blues deserved more and since then, eleven days, they haven’t fallen again.
