Deportivo Abanca, newly promoted and still undefeated

Deportivo Abanca is arriving at Lezama on Sunday to cross swords with Athletic Club in the fourth matchweek in Primera Iberdrola. The Galician squad managed to be promoted to the elite division last year, and they remain undefeated after the opening three league matches contested so far. They have shown no fear in their jump into the first division. They have a record of 7 points, with 8 goals scored and only 3 conceded so far.

Manu Sanchez’s team’s direct style is precisely one of their major assets. The team is composed by players who know how to control the ball and who are able to perform quick defensive passes, what will require a great deal of concentration on the part of the lionesses. Their most outstanding player is Teresa Abelleira, a midfielder who can occupy a variety of different positions in the midfield, and has been part of the U-19 Spanish National squad. Deportivo Abanca are making their debut in Primera and they are still a mystery to the rest of the first division teams. Athletic will try to secure the three points at home before the break next week.
