C.D. Leganés visits Racing Club de Ferrol this Sunday (18:30) at A Malata Stadium, in a match corresponding to the forty-first round of LALIGA HYPERMOTION. The pepineros will be looking for a win that brings them closer to the goal of promotion against a rival that is rushing their playoff options.
Last trip of the regular season for a Leganés that faces its first 'match-ball' for direct promotion. However, it is not enough for the pepineros to win their game, but they would also depend on a slip by Eibar or a defeat by Real Valladolid for the dream to become a reality. The first thing, in any case, is to take the three points from A Malata.
To do so, the coach of the Pepeños, Borja Jiménez, will have to do without Argentine midfielder Julián Chicco, who was sent off the bench in the last match against Sporting and has been suspended for two games, the first of which will be this Sunday's match in Galicia. The rest of the squad could be available for the coach from Avila, including Undabarrena, who has rejoined the group this week.
Racing de Ferrol, to win in order to improve their playoff chances
For its part, Racing Ferrol faces its last home game of the season in which it returned to the silver category. A season in which it has become one of the revelations of the campaign, moving during most of the year at the top of the standings. The Galicians need the victory to opt for one of the playoff places, as they start the day three points behind the sixth position.
Racing coach Cristóbal Parralo will be without injured Nico Serrano and Luca Ferrone, as well as David Castro, Chuca and Vadillo, who have various physical problems. Six hundred pepineros will gather at A Malata, a stadium that Leganés already visited this season in a Copa del Rey match.
The match will be refereed by the Valencian referee, Mr. Andrés Fuentes Molina.
