Prediction: 0-1
Fuenlabrada
Lugo and Fuenlabrada face each other at Estadio Anxo Carro in the closing match of the La Liga day 28. Lugo continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and due to their poor away record, they are unlikely to book their place in the playoffs. Luis Cesar Sampedro’s troops are on a five-game winless run in the Spanish second tier, and it should come as no surprise the bookies see Fuenlabrada as favourites to win Monday’s clash.
Fuenla, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous six league fixtures. The visitors aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Lugo’s dressing room. Midfielder Rama returns from suspension for the hosts, but that is unlikely to help los Albivermellos grab something from the match.
