Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 2-1
Huesca
All eyes will be on Estadi Ciutat de Valencia when Levante and Huesca square off against each other in the opening match of the season. Los Levantinos failed to impress in the 2021/2022 La Liga campaign, and, no doubt, they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful campaign. Loanee Vicente Iborra is expected to play an important role in Mehdi Nafti’s team, as well as North Macedonia international Enis Bardhi, who is still part of the team.
Huesca, on the other hand, were having their ups and downs in pre-season, with the team beating the likes of Calahorra and Andorra, losing to Eibar and Osasuna, while sharing the spoils Gimnastic. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on Levante, who have turned their Estadi Ciutat de Valencia into a real fortress. A man to watch in the away team will be summer signing Sandro Ramirez.
Highlighted Player (Roberto Soldado):
Roberto Soldado is regarded as one of the most famous footballers in the history of Villarreal. The meaning of his surname in Spanish is “the warrior” and it has to be noted that he began his football career at Real Madrid, playing from the B team between 2002 and 2006. The pacey attacker made 16 appearances and scored two goals for the first team, but he was producing the best performances of his career during his three-year spell at Valencia.
Soldado scored 59 goals in 101 appearances for los Che, but in 2013 he signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £26 million. The Spanish attacker, who was born on 27 May, 1985 in Valencia, scored for the Spurs on his debut in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, but he netted the goal from the penalty spot.
Soldado failed to impress in the 2014/2015 Premier League campaign with Tottenham and, as a result, he was sold to Villarreal on 14 August, 2015. Speaking of his international career, the Villarreal attacker made his Spain debut in June, 2007 against Latvia.

In 1956 the club disappeared due to financial problems, but four years later Sociedad Deportiva Huesca was born.
