Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Almeria
Match Time & Date:
24/10/2020
02:30 PM
Prediction: 0-1
Fuenlabrada
All eyes will be on Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos when Almeria and Fuenlabrada face each other in the La Liga 2 round 8. The Andalusians head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Cartagena, and you should bear in mind that they are on a four-game winless run in Segunda Division. New signing Umar Sadiq, who opened his goalscoring account in the midweek clash, will be the man to watch in the home team.
Fuenlabrada, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw with Logrones on Wednesday evening. Fuenla are still seen as one of the main candidates for promotion to La Liga, and we predict that they will go for a win in Saturday’s clash. Since the game will be played behind closed doors, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing visitors.
