Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Girona
Match Time & Date:

18:15
Prediction: 1-0
Lugo
Girona will look to make amends for the Copa del Rey loss to Rayo Vallecano when they take on Lugo in the Segunda Division round 24. The Catalans do not to give up on their automatic promotion dream, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Lugo. Uruguay international Stuani is not getting any older, and we predict that he is going to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while all Oscar Urena, Dario Sarmiento, and Ramon Terrats miss out with injuries.
Ruben Albes’ troops, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Mirandes and Almeria, but seeing that Girona are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Galicia empty-handed. Juanpe is banned for the visiting team, while both David Mayoral and Pedro Lopez are sidelined with injuries.
