Zaragoza
Leganes and Zaragoza take on each other in Madrid in the opening match of La Liga 2 round 27. The capital club have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Burgos, beating Alcorcon, while sharing the spoils with Tenerife. All Bruno, Luis Perea, and Ivan Villar are sidelined with injuries, while both Barcenas and Shibasaki are rated doubtful for the match.
Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Malaga in the Andalusian derby at the weekend. Zaragoza have drawn each of their last four league fixtures, and they are surely capable of sharing the spoils with Leganes in the Spanish capital. Captain Alberto Zapater misses out with injury, while Sabin Merino is ineligible to face his parent club. In the first half of the season Leganes defeated Zaragoza 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Recio):
Recio is a Spanish footballer who was born in Malaga on January 11, 1991. Recio is a product of his home-town club Malaga and he has been playing for los Boquerones at senior level since 2010. The right-footed midfielder spent the 2013/2014 La Liga season on loan at Granada and he returned to Malaga at the end of the campaign.
It has to be noted that he scored four goals in 45 appearances for los Granadinos in the Spanish top flight. Recio made only 18 appearances for Malaga in La Liga in the 2016/2017 season, scoring three goals in the process, while providing two assists for his teammates.
Speaking of his international career, the midfielder made his debut with Spain U21 team on March 24, 2011 in a friendly against France. To make things even better for him, Recio represented Spain at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia later that year, making four appearances for La Roja at the showpiece tournament. Recio’s main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing a defensive midfielder as well.
