Granada have won three straight in La Liga 2 and Valladolid have not won away all season, but the visitors have drawn three of five on the road and arrive without Juanmi Latasa.

Granada to win is the likeliest single result, though at 2.20 it offers no clear advantage. Three prices do: Valladolid to lead at half-time at 3.75, over 2.5 goals at 2.00 and over 9.5 corners at 2.00.

Context

Losing a senior centre-forward forces Escribá to reshape the attacking third for a game Valladolid enter after conceding three at home to Eldense. The practical question is who occupies the central role and whether the visitors' attacking play shifts further toward the wide runners who carried much of their threat in the 5-0 win over Albacete. The absence is on the record from the coach himself, but he left the replacement open rather than naming one, which is where the selection uncertainty sits for this fixture.
- Latasa misses the Granada fixture because of a sprain of the ligament in his left knee
- Escribá's pre-match briefing centred on finding solutions without Latasa and on the alternatives available in attack
- Juanmi Latasa started 5 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups, totalling 364 minutes across 5 appearances.

Granada dismissed Escribá two seasons ago and handed the team to Pacheta, who still holds the job, so the round-11 opener pairs a coach with the club that let him go and the man who followed him into the dugout. That history puts unusual scrutiny on a Friday-night game between two clubs still finding their level. The limitation is that the reunion carries no documented tactical consequence: there is no meaningful head-to-head record between the two coaches, and Valladolid's squad was assembled after Escribá left Granada, so this is storyline rather than a selection signal.
- Escribá is Real Valladolid's head coach and managed Granada before his dismissal, returning to Nuevo Los Cármenes for this fixture
- Granada appointed Pacheta after dismissing Escribá, and Pacheta remains the club's coach for the 23 October game
- Granada against Valladolid opens round 11 on Friday 23 October

The dismissal came with Valladolid chasing an equaliser against Eldense, and the ban now removes a midfield option from a squad already missing Latasa in attack. Escribá had singled out control of central midfield as one of the keys to competing at Los Cármenes, so the enforced change lands in the area he identified as decisive. The counterweight is that Valladolid have rotated in midfield through the season and their shape has often been fluid, so the practical drop may be smaller than a straight absence implies.
- Fernández was sent off as Valladolid lost 2-3 at home to Eldense on 18 October 2026
- Fernández is listed as banned for the Granada fixture
- Escribá identified defensive intensity and control of central midfield as Valladolid's priorities for the trip
- Víctor Fernández started 5 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups, totalling 371 minutes across 5 appearances.
ReportedSources checked 22 Oct 2026, 21:33 · Europe/Bucharest
Granada's attacking rotation stays as it was for the win over Cádiz, which means continuity rather than a new problem for Pacheta. The effect on this fixture is likely to be limited to the bench and to how early the coach turns to his substitutes if the game stays level into the second half. What the public record does not settle is a return date, so his availability for the following round remains open, and the impact here should be read as a narrower set of options rather than a weakened first eleven.
- Marqués remains unavailable for the Valladolid fixture on 23 October
