Prediction: 1-1
Valladolid
Friday’s football game at Estadio La Romareda pits together Zaragoza and Real Valladolid, the two teams who defeated Villarreal B and Sporting Gijon respectively in their season openers. Los Blanquillos want to win yet another home fixture, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. A man to watch in the home team will be left midfielder Maikel, who opened his goal-scoring account on his Zaragoza debut in La Liga 2.
La Pucela, meanwhile, are eyeing a quick return to the Spanish top flight and their performance in the 2-0 triumph over Gijon is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. With no fresh injury worries to report, Paulo Pezzolano is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced los Rojiblancos in round 1. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards in this one as Zaragoza are tough to beat at home.
