Atleti B: Aiming for Victory at El Cerro
Atlético de Madrid B faces Intercity, the bottom-placed team, in a crucial match this Friday at Cerro del Espino in Majadahonda. Torres’ team seeks to redeem themselves from last week’s defeat against Algeciras and add three vital points to get closer to the ‘Play-off’ spots.
El Cerro del Espino has become a real fortress for Atleti B, where they have achieved important victories against tough opponents such as Real Murcia, Villarreal B, Hércules, and Alcorcón. A streak that was only interrupted by a draw against Betis Deportivo at the Metropolitano.
The solidity at home will be key to overcoming an Intercity that, despite its position in the table, has shown remarkable improvement in recent rounds. With the top of the standings very tight, every point is essential.
Atleti B’s goal is to beat Intercity to tie points with Mérida, which currently occupies the last ‘Play-off’ spot, and arrive at next week’s derby against Real Madrid Castilla with an advantage in the standings. Javi Boñar will be one of the key players to achieve victory.
Despite being at the bottom, Intercity has experienced a positive change with the arrival of José Lledó on the bench, adding three wins and two draws in the last seven games. This resurgence further complicates the match, but Atleti B is confident in their strength at home and the support of their fans to take the victory.
