Estadio Municipal de Butarque (18:30 CEST) hosts Sunday's survival six-pointer between Leganés (19th, 2 pts) and Valladolid (20th, 1 pt). Both were in Primera last season; both face a fight for their lives. Leganés' home form has been their only positive — a draw and a narrow win in their first three Butarque games.
Leganés: Brasanac carries the fight
Óscar García's Leganés have shown grit without converting it into results. Darko Brasanac anchors the midfield; Youssef En-Nesyri (if fit) provides the aerial presence up front. Jornada 5 loss at Atletico was harsh — they created three clear chances.

Valladolid: desperate for a first win
One point from five games — Pep Masip in goal has been the only constant highlight. Sergio León and Toni Villa lead the attack; a win here is their most realistic route to safety points. The 4-4-2 hasn't clicked in away games (P3 W0 D0 L3).
