The League enters its final phase and there is almost no room for more mistakes. Therefore, Tenerife and Real Zaragoza seek to vindicate themselves to face the final stretch with options. The Blue and Whites are in a slump in results as they have only won one of the last five games, while the Aragonese, after reacting and getting their people excited about the ‘playoff’, have returned to their old ways due to injuries (follow the match live on As.com).
Luis Miguel Ramis prepares several changes in his eleven, trying to recover the good feelings that led the team to fight, doing nothing, for direct promotion. Now, they march fifth and Girona has already reached them. The mattress with the seventh is still reassuring, but everything can get complicated.
TOItor Sanz will return to the double pivot after serving a sanction to accompany Corredera, the couple that gives the coach the most reliability. In defence, will wait for Moore, who has just arrived on the island after qualifying for the World Cup with the United States, and it will be necessary to see his tiredness. As well Can Sergio Gonzalez return?. In the middle, Victor Mollejo win integers, while Mario González is the candidate to replace Enric Gallegodown for five yellow cards.
For its part, Real Zaragoza goes to Heliodoro Rodríguez with the intention of making amends his missteps against Cartagena and Amorebieta, two results, a resounding defeat and a tie at La Romareda, which have moved him eight points away from the ‘playoff’, a distance that seems very difficult to overcome nine days from the end of the championship, because, in addition, there are a dozen teams who also bid for sixth place.
But Juan Ignacio Martínez does not want, logically, to throw in the towel until mathematics says otherwise and aspires to return with a victory that restores the spirit and the possibilities to his team: “There are many points left, our margin of error is minimal, if not none, and we have to add as many points as possible and see how far we get. Hopefully we add a lot and give us to fight. We are professionals and we all play a lot in this final sprint of the League”.
Saragossa coach has not finally been able to count on Franchostill with discomfort, but he recovers two indisputable players like Francés and Bermejo, he aims to line up central defender Lluís López as a central midfielder and the big question is whether he will decide to line up Iván Azón as a starter at once, the young 19-year-old forward from Aragon who has scored five goals in the last seven games coming off the bench.
