Atleti B: Clinging to the Cerro for the Promotion Dream
Atlético de Madrid B is fighting tooth and nail for a place in the promotion playoff. Despite the difficulty of maintaining consistency away from home, the rojiblanco reserve team relies on the impregnable fortress of the Cerro del Espino to reach the last matchday with options intact.
Torres’ team has turned its home ground into a stronghold, adding an impressive streak of consecutive victories in Majadahonda, including a draw at the Metropolitano, which contrasts with their performance away from home.
The next opponent, Ibiza, has already secured its presence in the playoff, but seeks to consolidate its position. Atleti B faces the match with significant absentees, including Diallo due to expulsion and Dani Martínez, suspended for four matches, and Spina due to accumulation of yellow cards.
However, the return of Joaquín to midfield and Kostis to defense is expected to strengthen the team. Ibiza, led by Paco Jémez, will not make it easy, with players like Álex Gallar and Bebé leading their attack and Olabe, a former rojiblanco youth player, as the team’s engine. The Colchonero fans are confident that Atleti B will assert its home advantage and continue its winning streak at the Cerro del Espino. Victory is crucial to keep alive the hopes of reaching the playoff and fighting for promotion.
