Prediction: 1-0
Fuenlabrada
Zaragoza will look to extend their winning run to four matches when they take on Fuenlabrada in the La Liga 2 round 31. Los Blanquillos have found their best form of late, and they are on the right track to secure the Segunda Division survival. Ivan Azon Monzon, who scored as a substitute in a 2-0 win over Almeria, will be the man to watch in the home team. Fuenla, on the other hand, are fighting hard to secure the survival.
The visitors are seven points behind the safe zone, but given their poor form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form hosts. Fuenlabrada failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Almeria (1-3) and Burgos (1-2), and they are unlikely to grab something from Friday’s clash. Both Daniel Lasure and Martin Vigaray are sidelined with injuries for the hosts, while Ruben Pulido is banned for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Alvaro Gimenez):
Alvaro Gimenez is a product of Elche football school who plays for fellow La Liga side Cadiz as a forward. Alvaro played for several Spanish clubs in the past, including Elche, Valencia B, Torrellano, Mallorca, Alcorcon, Almeria, before joining Birmingham City in the 2019/20 season.
After scoring only three goals in 24 appearances for the Blues in the Championship, Alvaro Gimenez returned to Spain at the end of the season, signing a deal with La Liga newcomers Cadiz. The Spanish attacker made his debut with the “Yellow Submarine” on October 4, 2020 in a 1-1 draw with Granada. His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well.
Gimenez’s preferred foot is left, and his contract with Cadiz should expire on June 30, 2023. The Cadiz attacker has three caps with the Spain U17 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team.
Highlighted Team (Fuenlabrada):
Nicknamed los Kirikos, Fuenlabrada is a Spanish football club that competes in Segunda Division. Fuenlabrada was founded in 1975, with the team securing promotion to La Liga 2 for the first time in the 2019/20 season.
Fuenla finished the campaign in the 8th place in the standings, and, as a result, they missed out on a place in the Segunda division playoffs. Los Kirikos wear blue shirts and blue shorts when playing on home soil, while their away kit is mainly red. Estadio Fernando Torres is the club’s home ground. The venue was named under legendary Spanish attacker Fernando Torres, who scored 38 goals in 110 appearances for La Furia Roja on the international stage.
“El Nino”, who was born in Fuenlabrada, played for the likes of Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Milan, and Sagan Tosu during his professional career. Dioni is leading Fuenlabrada all-time top scorers list as he netted 47 goals in 82 appearances for the club.
