Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Burgos and Levante take on each other at Estadio El Plantio in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Sunday’s program. Burgos continue to rely on their rock-solid defence, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive clean sheet in the process. With no fresh injuries to report, head coach boss Julian Calero is unlikely to make changes to the team that played out a goalless draw with Leganes at the weekend.
Los Levantinos, on the other hand, are eyeing a quick return to Primera Division, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to turn the dream into reality. The visitors aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Cartagena, but seeing that Burgos are tough to beat at home, we do not believe that Mehdi Nafti will grab more than one point from Saturday’s showdown. The Tunisian tactician is back on the bench after watching the last league match from the standgs.
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.
