Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Fuenlabrada and Real Valladolid take on each other at Estadio Fernando Torres in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Fuenla are fighting hard to secure the La Liga 2 survival, while La Pucela are eyeing automatic promotion to Primera Division. The hosts experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Cartagena, which is probably the main reason why we are not tempted to put our money Sergio Pellicer’s troops.
Forward Aboubakary Kante misses out through suspension, while both Juanma and Velasco Jano are sidelined with injuries. Real Valladolid, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sporting Gijon. La Pucela look unstoppable at the moment, and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason for celebration on Sunday afternoon. Alvaro Aguado is banned for the visitors.
