The lionesses seek victory in Paterna

Valencia CF will pose a dangerous challenge for Athletic Club Female Team this weekend in Paterna on Matchday 3 in Primera Iberdrola. The Red and Whites haven’t managed a victory since 2016, when they run out 1-2 winners. After that, they lost 3-1 two times in a row and last year they got a single point during their visit to the city on the left bank of the River Turia. As for Valencia CF, the team have remained unbeaten so far this season. They won 0-3 against RCD Espanyol de Barcelona last weekend and they were able to fight their way back into the game when playing with Real Sociedad on Matchday 1, from losing 0-2 to tying 2-2. Villacampa’s squad seek to play a good game and bring three points from Paterna.

The Valencian team has moved in a balanced way in the transfer market. Florencia Bonsegundo, who played in the Argentina national team, was one of the most outstanding players in the France World Cup and is defending Valencia colours this season. Mari Paz Vilas is their most feared striker, despite not having played for long last year, she scored a total of 14 goals. Although last season Valencia had a rather irregular performance, being joint eighth in the table, managed by Irene Ferreras, the team must be now craving to get to be the same competitive team they were renowned for and go back to the summit of the table.
