Group 2 of the Second Federation advances five games to Saturday, with teams seeking to consolidate their positions or improve their situation in the table. The matches will be played in the stadiums of Tafalla-SanFrancisco (PeñaSport-ReusFCReddis), Municipal del Congost (Manresa-Ebro), SantaAna (Utebo-UDLogroñésB), Ciudad de Tudela (Tudelano-Barbastro) and Municipal de Sendero (Arnedo-Calamocha). Each appointment presents its own particularities: withdrawals, sanctions and the pressure of fighting for promotion or permanence.
In the PeñaSport match against ReusFCReddis, the local team returns to its stadium after a streak without losing and has the absence of the injured IkerGil and JuanAsirón, in addition to the suspension of HugoTerés. Reus, who has shown good dynamics with a win at home and a draw against EspanyolB, faces the loss of Agus, Recasens, Xavi and MiquelUstrelll. Both teams are looking to advance in the promotion zone, with PeñaSport leading the table and Reus trying to get closer to the promotion zone.
Manresa faces Ebro at the Municipal del Congost after drawing 0-0 in Barbastro, which gives them their third consecutive day without losing. Coach SergiTrullàs is looking for a victory without casualties, while Ebro tries to recover from his first home defeat of the season, with the only absence being Escario due to suspension. The result of this match will be crucial for the teams competing for promotion spots.
Utebo returns to SantaAna with the intention of achieving its first victory at home, after a difficult start to the season and the absence of several key players (CarlosLlamas, AleBueso, Chanza, AdriPereda and DiegoRoyo). The Logroñés reserve team, which lost in Terrassa, also faces the absence of Imanol and Aieko, both of whom have long-term injuries. The game will be decisive for both teams seeking to improve their position in the table.
Tudelano and Barbastro are in an urgent situation, as Tudelano seeks to regain its form after three games without a win and Barbastro has not achieved a home victory since the first round. Both teams have significant losses (IñigoAlayeto and RaúlFloria for Tudelano; Lapeña, Asier, Carbonell, Gabarre and Soto for Barbastro). The game will be a turning point for teams seeking to avoid the relegation zone.
Arnedo and Calamocha face each other in Municipal de Sendero with the intention of getting out of the red lantern. Arnedo is looking for a vital victory after drawing against Tudelano, while Calamocha arrives after drawing against PeñaSport in a direct duel for permanence, although it is affected by the absence of Quique, Torcal and Rotellar. The game will be key for the teams fighting to stay in the Second Federation.
On the transfer front, versatile centre-back MarcMartínez, 23, joins SDLogroñés after terminating his contract with Intercity in August as a free agent. The incorporation of Martínez reinforces the Logroñés midfield and brings experience and versatility to the squad. With these changes and the scheduled matches, Group 2 of the Second Federation promises exciting and decisive matches for teams seeking to advance in the season.
