Alcoyano will chase another milestone as they head to Can Misses in Ibiza this Sunday, with a 12:00 kickoff broadcast on FEF TV. The club aims to extend a run in one of the toughest arenas in the First Federation and keep their momentum going under the guidance of Vicente Parras.
Alcoyano’s squad prepares to challenge Can Misses
From the bench, Vicente Parras already understands what it takes to win against Ibiza at Can Misses, a venue that often tests visiting sides. Ibiza has shown strong form at home this season, suffering only one league defeat at their venue when Intercity handed them a narrow setback. Alcoyano will look to translate league consistency into a strong performance on Sunday as they push to climb the standings at the end of the round.
Three years ago, January 2021 marked a breakthrough season that saw Alcoyano earn promotion to the Second Division as group champions. Midway through that campaign, Ángel López’s goal delivered a crucial win away against Ibiza, a result that highlighted Alcoyano’s potential to perform on the road and set the tone for the rest of the campaign.
Raúl Alcaina: “Alcoyano aim to extend their four-match winning streak against Ibiza”
Parras faces some squad adjustments for this match with defensive midfielder Sergi Lopez suspended and Pablo Ganet unavailable. The visitors will still rely on their attacking core, including winger Kike Carrasco and striker Dani Selma, two players who recently featured in the African Cup before rejoining the winter market movements. These players form the backbone of Alcoyano’s forward plan as they travel to Ibiza.
In the preview, Parras stressed that the moment is ripe for ambition and that the squad has everything needed to succeed in Ibiza. He noted the opponent’s quality and game management but highlighted Alcoyano’s weapons and the necessity of utilizing them effectively to challenge the home side. The coach emphasized the importance of discipline, timing, and a measured approach to create chances against a team known for controlling matches and leveraging moments to their advantage.
