Racing de Ferrol has a square defence

The league in the First Federation is entering a decisive phase where points are gold, especially when the opponent is one of those fighting to enter the top five, which will have the possibility of promotion to the second league. It is a match between Racing and Linares Deportivo at 12 o’clock this morning in Linarejos, one of the teams that has been competing for honorable mentions in this group since the beginning of the season. , which he was a little behind and is now trying to catch up again.

The points in play in this morning’s game are important for both clubs. A win for Linares puts him fully back into the fight. Defeat would touch them and start the Racing team, which would already have a seven point advantage over them.

To meet this decisive match, Racing arrives with a square defense. If Jon García does not recover, the Basque central defender has a hamstring problem, Cristóbal Parralo will have only four defenders: Enol Coto, Quique Fornos, David Castro and Aitor Pascual. The others injured are Luca Ferrone, Brais Martínez and Tomás Bourdal, who failed to recover from an accidental hit in one of last week’s training sessions.

Enol Coto, Quique Fornos, David Castro and Aitor Pascual are a guaranteed defense, they can do well, as they have shown in the last games. A problem for the coach can arise if an injury occurs, since they do not have a reserve, the coach would be forced to adapt a player from another position on the field to the defense. So, Racing will meet this clash with a sharp defense.

With 16 goals conceded in 24 games played, Racing is the team that conceded the fewest goals in the category. In addition, in the last six league games, days in which Cristóbal’s bulls have not lost, the Ferrolans have eased up a bit. However, it will be difficult to maintain this level of performance, as losses take a toll on the team’s defensive plan.

Keeping a clean sheet in Linares can be the first and fundamental step to return with three points, as the Ferrol team always creates scoring chances and has also shown improved finishing in recent games.

Clean starting eleven

It is unlikely that there will be news about the starting eleven of Racing for the crash. The goalkeeper and four defenders are fixed, as well as in attack with Carlos Vicente, Manu Justa and Héber Pena. So the only doubt is in the midfield, whether Álex López will return or keep Luis Chacon, since the other two places are probably for Fran Manzanar, who will play very close to home, as well as Jesús Bernal.
