📋 Team News: Villarreal CF B

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Villarreal CF B boss Miguel Álvarez to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy squad. Hugo Pérez (Cruciate ligament injury) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Villarreal CF B could make use of the 4-4-2 formation for this one featuring Iker Álvarez, Adrià Altimira, Stefan Lekovic, Pablo Iniguez, Dani Tasende, Hugo Novoa, Pau Navarro, C. Adriano García, Carlos Romero, Alex Forés and Javier Ontiveros.

📋 Team News: Racing Ferrol

Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Racing Ferrol manager Cristóbal Parralo to be concerned with. Luca Ferrone (Meniscus damage) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Racing Ferrol appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with A. C. Armendariz, Sergio Cubero, Jon García, David Castro, Moi Delgado, Alex Lopez, Jesús Bernal, Nico Serrano, Iker Losada, Héber Pena and Álvaro Giménez.
