April will be the month of truth for Valencia CF. The ‘Baraja effect’ was enough to secure two important victories against Real Sociedad and Osasuna in Mestalla. However, with a small loot of 6 points from the last 15 possible, Valencia face the national team’s break, knowing that April will be key in their accounts to stay in the First Division and avoid relegation. In April, the Ché team will play up to six games, including week-to-week, and of those six games, up to five will play direct rivals from the area below. Adding a lot will serve to get out of the pot. Failure to do so will mean even more sinking. Despite the fact that Rubén Baraja prefers to play “match by match” like Rafa Benítez or Diego Simeone, the calendar indicates that Valencia will play a lot in April. It will depend on you.
Matchday 27 will be played on Monday, April 3, Valencia will receive Rayo Vallecano in Mestalla. The ones from the strip are gone 6 days without winning. Getting three points would give the chés a boost. And lose, take another step back.
On Sunday, April 9, the day has come, match day 28. The rival is Almería. A direct rival, with whom he is even on points (26). It will be a little over three points and it will be on the line andl target mean between individuals. Winning in Almeria would be crucial. Lose, keep falling.
He Day 29 arrives on April 16. Seville visits Mestalla. It will be a duel between two greats in trouble. It will be Mendilibar sitting on the couch. The people of Seville need points and whoever wins that match will leave a direct rival very moved.
Day 30 will be held on April 23. ANDthe Valencian team will travel to Elche. The Elche team already has a foot and a half in Second. The franjiverdes are at the bottom of the standings with 13 points and their rescue is utopian. Winning Elche seems vital to the accounts of the VCF rescue.
On April 26, matchday 31, Valladolid sets foot in Mestalla. Pacheta’s men won in the first round and that match ended with the resignation of Gennaro Gattuso. Beating Pucela would mean subtracting three gold points against another lower zone rival.
Finally, on April 30, matchday 32, Valencia will visit Cádiz, which they already won in the first round in Mestalla (0-1). Ché’s club must win and if it can regain the ‘goal average’ with the people of Cádiz.
Six games in April. Six finals for Valencia CF. The accounts settled between Valencianism are clear. Adding less than 9 points in those 6 games would be terrible. And anything above 12 points would be a very good thing to reach the current target, save the category and continue in the First Division. April will be key.
