Juan Carlos Unzue (CD Numancia’s coach) came from FC Barcelona. He was goalkeepers coach with Pepe Guardiola last two years. Every coach who comes out from FC Barcelona and they manage in other team, they are usually failing. They come from Barcelona and they want to play the same style that they played there. Passing game, control the ball and advanced defense. All of them are usually struggling in these categories where it’s quite important the defense and take advantage of counter-attacks and tactical free kicks.
The called squad is the following one:
Eduardo, Diego, Flaño, Garmendia, Nagore, Dimas, Íñigo Vélez, Del Pino, Mikel Álvaro, Dani López, Barkero, Jaio, Óscar López, Pavón, Culebras, Víctor Andrés, Gerard and Cedric.
They will have two important absences. Ibrahima (striker) is injured since two months. Nano (offensive midfielder turns to left defender) is injured and he is a crucial absence.
Too many absences
UD Las Palmas is placed in 13th spot (22 points, 5W – 7D – 6L) in the Spanish Segunda. They have had an amazing start of the season, not only amazing but incredible. The Club built a team to fight for avoiding the relegation and maybe that measure is the real one, but the team was playing in superb mode until 4 weeks ago. They are a mixture between solid veterans and fresh youngsters. Paco Jemez (UD Las Palmas’ coach) has been able to manage the secret potion and the Canary team is playing quite well. They are quite aggressive at home and they are usually playing an appealing offensive style, scoring goals and enjoying in front of their home crowd.
UD Las Palmas has shown to be a quite dangerous team playing on counter-attack style. They have fast and dynamic players who do a quick and passing game style very effective.
They will have a lot of absences. Some of them are crucial misses: Vitolo (offensive midfielder), Alvaro Cejudo (midfielder) and Barbosa (goalkeeper) are the most important ones, but they aren’t the only ones. Guayre (striker), Randy (offensive midfielder), Dani Carril (left defender) and Vicente Gomez (midfielder) won’t be available for this match.
The called squad is: Pignol, Ruyman, Samuel, David García, Josico, Perea, Sergio Suárez, Mauro Quiroga, Jorge, Pedro Vega, Aythami, Pindado, Javi Guerrero, Juanpe, Armiche, Jonathan Viera, David González, Quero and Raúl.
Wrong Odds
I can’t understand these odds on Over 2.5 goals in this game. UD Las Palmas is one of the craziest teams in the Spanish football due to their coach, Paco Jemez. He always wants to attack wherever they play and this style of playing is decisive for their current results.
Spanish Segunda is always tough to bet on goals due to the equality among teams, but betting on well selected Over can be very lucrative. CD Numancia is a hard nut to crack at home and I’m totally sure that UD Las Palmas will attack from the beginning of the match because they can’t defend during the whole game holding a low scoring result. Simply because they haven’t enough qualified defenders to keep far from their box to the rivals.
Beside, Barbosa (UD Las Palmas’ best goalkeeper) is injured and this is a big problem for Canaries. Pindado (goalkeeper) is an average goalkeeper who stays in bad form. He was the responsible of conceded goals against FC Barcelona B.
On the other hand, CD Numancia will have the important miss of Nano. Nano is an offensive midfielder who is playing in the left back because of the lack of true left defender. So, the substitute is rather deficient, Dani Lopez. He can suffer too much against Jonathan Viera in the wing.
CD Numancia has several players who belong to higher division. Barkero, Cedric and Garmendia can damage easily the weak Canary defense, mainly by free kicks close to box. I expect an open match, so I can’t miss this chance to bet on these odds. Maybe, the right bet would be the home win, but UD Las Palmas is the most unpredictable team in the Spanish Segunda and they can cause problems to CD Numancia, mainly in the left wing and their always nervous goalkeeper, Eduardo.
