VCF Femenino return to the Antonio Puchades on Sunday, taking on Deportivo Abanca in the latest fixture of the Primera Iberdrola season.
The team come into Matchday 16 in 10th place in the table, with 17 points to their name from 14 games played. They have had over a fortnight out of action, with their most recent contest having been the 2-3 derby loss at home to Levante UD on January 6th.
