A week ago, before receiving Mestalla in Osasuna, Ruben Baraja admitted his surprise when he learned the team hadn’t won two consecutive home games since September. For the coach, who lived for many years as a player where the stadium was an almost impregnable fortress, it was unimaginable. But that bad streak, which was broken by the victory against the rojillo team, is not the only statistic that proves the lack of continuity of Valencia this season as the team has yet to connect two victories. This Saturday at the Metropolitan there will also be a chance to break that curse.
None of the six wins they achieved before defeating the Navarrese team had continuity. The victories achieved against Celtic and the Osasuna (in the first round) and at least they were followed by two draws (against Espanyol and Elche) but after winning against Girona, Getafe, Betis and Real Sociedadthe team did not score any points.
Deck of cards So far he has been unable to change that dynamic, as he led the team to a win against Real and a subsequent loss to Camp Nou. Now it will not be easy for the entity of Athletic and because of the awesomeness of a scenario where he hasn’t won in over a decade. But the man from Valladolid came to break the losing streak, even if it was the second one.
In fact, to find two consecutive wins from Valencia in the League you have to go back more than a year in the calendar. At the end of February 2022, they prevailed 0-1 in Mallorca on matchday 26 of the championship and in the following match they lost pomegranate for 3-1.
