Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Burgos will look to finish the 2022/2023 season in style when they welcome Lugo to their Estadio El Plantio on Saturday afternoon. Burgos are enjoying a successful season, but they missed out on a spot in the Segunda Division playoffs. Julian Calero’s troops are eager to, at least, secure a top-ten finish and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the relegation strugglers. Defender Jose Matos is banned for the match, while midfielder Javi Perez is unlikely to be risked as he has been struggling with a muscle injury.
Lugo, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team failing to secure the La Liga 2 survival. Considering that the rock-bottom side failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Granada and Huesca, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. Marc Carbo is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Hacen El Ide):
Moctar Sidi el Hacen is a Mauritania international, who started his youth career at ASAC Concorde. In 2014 he moved to Spanish side Levante, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for los Levantinos in La Liga.
El Hacen joined fellow Spanish team Real Valladolid in 2018, but at the start of his spell with la Pucela he played for the reserve team. The Mauritanian footballer made his La Liga debut for the senior team in the 2018/2019 season in a 1-0 win over Girona. Moctar Sidi el Hacen started pretty early with his international career, making seven appearances for the Mauritania national team before the age of 16.
El Hacen made his Mauritania debut in a goalless draw with Gambia on March 2, 2013. The Real Valladolid player was born in Nouakchott (Mauritania) on December 31, 1997 and his main position is central midfield.
Highlighted Team (Lugo):
Based in the autonomous community of Galicia, CD Lugo is a Spanish football club that plays in Segunda Division. Despite being founded back on June 16, 1953, Lugo have never competed in the Spanish top flight. The club’s best result in Segunda division came in the 2016/17 season when they finished 9th.
Los Albivermellos wear red shirts with white stripes when playing at home, whereas white and blue are the dominant colours of the club’s away kit. CD Lugo played their first official game on September 13, 1953, with the team beating Pontevedra 3-1. Ponferradina are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in Derbi de los Ancares.
The likes of Samuel Galindo, Serge Leuko, Ivan Zarandona, Ramon Azeez, Angel Guirado, Fabri, Fernando Seoane, Jose Juan, and Diego Lopez are some of the famous footballers who played for the club in the past. Anxo Carro, the stadium with the capacity of 7,070 is the club’s home ground.
