Prediction: 2-1
Zaragoza
Las Palmas and Zaragoza go head to head at Estadio de Gran Canaria in the La Liga2 round 16 on Saturday evening. Following three consecutive wins, La Union Deportiva shared the spoils with Real Oviedo in their last league match. Las Palmas have been impressive at home ground in the 2021/2022 season, and it is no surprise the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Former Real Madrid ace Jese Rodriguez is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, recorded a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Sporting Gijon. Zaragoza aim to keep on climbing the standings, but given Las Palmas’ impressive home record, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. La Union Deportiva defenders should have pacey forward Nano Mesa at bay.
Highlighted Player (Sergio Araujo):
Sergio Araujo was born in Buenos Aires on 28 January, 1992 and, as expected, he started playing for his home-town club Boca Juniors. He made just 19 appearances for Boca in the league and he played for the likes of Barcelona B, Tigre and Las Palmas on loan in the past as well.
The Argentine attacker scored 25 goals in 43 appearances for los Amarillos in the 2014/2015 Segunda Division campaign and despite the fact that he was linked with a move to Celtic and Real Sociedad, the club owners managed to sign a permanent deal with the former Boca Juniors footballer.
Araujo has three caps for Argentina U23 team and he represented la Albiceleste at the 2009 FIFA U17 World Cup. It has to be noted that he scored the winner for Argentina in the opening match of the tournament against Honduras. Araujo scored six goals in eight appearances for the Argentina U17 team. The pacey attacker has a contract with Las Palmas which expires on 30 June, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Zaragoza):
Based in the autonomous community of Aragon, Zaragoza is a Spanish football club that plays in Segunda Division. The club was founded on March 18, 1932 and it plays their home matches at the legendary La Romareda stadium.
The venue opened on September 8, 1957 has the capacity of 33,608 people. Los Blanquillos wear white shirts and blue shorts when playing on home soil, while yellow is the dominant colour of their away kit. Zaragoza did well to win the la liga trophy in the 1977/78 season, with the team finishing the campaign four points clear of second-place Recreativo de Huelva.
Speaking of the club’s European success, Zaragoza clinched the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1994/95 season as they defeated 2-1 in the title game. Fabio Coentrao, Pablo Aimar, Roberto Ayala, Diego Milito, Gabriel Milito, Cafu, and David Villa are the most notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Huesca are considered the club’s main rivals.
