The home team faces the match with maximum demand, as they depend on themselves to guarantee their presence in the promotion phase. A victory would also allow them to consolidate third place, which could positively influence the subsequent playoff matchups.

Real Valladolid, on the other hand, arrives at the encounter without any classification obligations, having already secured their permanence in the league. The Pucelano team presents itself as a priori an accessible opponent for Almería's interests.

Despite the importance of the duel, the team led by Joan Francesc Ferrer Sicilia, known as 'Rubi', faces the event in a complex context. Recent results have caused some erosion in the team's confidence, adding an element of uncertainty to the outcome.
