Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Following a thrilling 3-3 draw with Oviedo, Zaragoza will look to impress in their last home game of the season when they host Lugo to their Estadio La Romareda on Friday. Los Blanquillos are eyeing their first league win since April 10, 2022, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Lugo. Nano Mesa misses out with a shoulder injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Los Albivermellos, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to relegation strugglers Fuenlabrada, meaning that Zaragoza will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. All Joselu, Alex Perez, and David Mayoral continue to miss out with injuries for the visiting side. In their last meeting at “La Romareda” Zaragoza defeated Lugo thanks to Pep Chavarria’s goal.
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 (Lugo):
Based in the autonomous community of Galicia, CD Lugo is a Spanish football club that plays in Segunda Division. Despite being founded back on June 16, 1953, Lugo have never competed in the Spanish top flight. The club’s best result in Segunda division came in the 2016/17 season when they finished 9th.
Los Albivermellos wear red shirts with white stripes when playing at home, whereas white and blue are the dominant colours of the club’s away kit. CD Lugo played their first official game on September 13, 1953, with the team beating Pontevedra 3-1. Ponferradina are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in Derbi de los Ancares.
The likes of Samuel Galindo, Serge Leuko, Ivan Zarandona, Ramon Azeez, Angel Guirado, Fabri, Fernando Seoane, Jose Juan, and Diego Lopez are some of the famous footballers who played for the club in the past. Anxo Carro, the stadium with the capacity of 7,070 is the club’s home ground.
