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

14:00
Prediction: 1-0
Sabadell
After failing to win the previous eight league fixtures, Lugo will be looking to return to winning ways in Segunda Division when they take on Sabadell at their Estadio Anxo Carro. Los Albivermellos do not seem to be at the top of their game, but they rarely lose at home ground. It has to be noted that Lugo are undefeated in the previous 12 home fixtures in the Spanish second tier. Eleven of those games ended up with less than 2.5 goals.
Sabadell, on the other hand, have been struggling on the travels of late. Antonio Hidalgo’s men are on a three-match losing run on the road, and given Lugo’s fine home record in Segunda Division, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. In their last meeting at the venue Lugo defeated Sabadell 2-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
