Prediction: 1-0
Fuenlabrada
Girona and Fuenlabrada face each other at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in a highly-anticipated Segunda Division game. Girona aim to build on back-to-back wins over Burgos and Huesca, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. There are no players tested positive for coronavirus in the home team. Fuenla, on the other hand, are eager to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Ibiza.
The visitors have recorded only three wins in the new Segunda Division campaign, and seeing that Girona are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be former Real Madrid midfielder Pedro Leon, who found the net in the first game of the year.

Highlighted Team (Fuenlabrada):
Nicknamed los Kirikos, Fuenlabrada is a Spanish football club that competes in Segunda Division. Fuenlabrada was founded in 1975, with the team securing promotion to La Liga 2 for the first time in the 2019/20 season.
Fuenla finished the campaign in the 8th place in the standings, and, as a result, they missed out on a place in the Segunda division playoffs. Los Kirikos wear blue shirts and blue shorts when playing on home soil, while their away kit is mainly red. Estadio Fernando Torres is the club’s home ground. The venue was named under legendary Spanish attacker Fernando Torres, who scored 38 goals in 110 appearances for La Furia Roja on the international stage.
“El Nino”, who was born in Fuenlabrada, played for the likes of Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Milan, and Sagan Tosu during his professional career. Dioni is leading Fuenlabrada all-time top scorers list as he netted 47 goals in 82 appearances for the club.
