Intercity Eyes a Christmas Victory in the King’s Cup Against Mirandés
Intercity returns this Tuesday to face Mirandés in a King’s Cup clash scheduled for 19:00 at the Antonio Solana stadium. The aim is clear: reach Christmas with a positive feeling after closing the year 2019 in the second round of this competition in Alicante, while continuing the fight to climb away from relegation and move closer to the goals of a promoted season.
Following a tough 1-0 loss at Amorebieta on the final day of the RFEF First Division schedule, the team led by Gustavo Siviero wants to sign off 2022 with a victory over Mirandés and return to the idea of competing in the top flight in the upcoming round of the cup.
Intercity’s Argentinian coach emphasized the focus on the King’s Cup and noted the challenge posed by a higher-division opponent. “Entering this match with solid guarantees and a clear plan against a stronger team is essential. Mirandés will demand a highly competitive game,” he stated, underlining the contest as a meaningful test for his squad.
Intercity Keeps the Cup Dream Alive After a Narrow Defeat
Gustavo Siviero also highlighted how the cup competition fits into the club’s broader calendar, especially given the uneven results in the league. “We must approach every competition with seriousness. We will dedicate our best effort to this last commitment before the Christmas break and do so with the same intensity we bring to every match,” the coach affirmed.
The squad could feature Gaizka Campos in goal alongside a familiar back line and midfield. The lineup considered includes Guillem Jaime, Álvaro Pérez, Vadik Murria, and Cristo in defense; Miguel Marí, Bellotti, Xemi Fernández in the middle; Pol Roigé, Aarón Piñán, and Etxaniz in the attacking setup. The chemistry in training has raised expectations for a strong performance on game day.
There is a clear ambition to boost home support and secure a place in the next round. To this end, Intercity has arranged several initiatives aimed at ensuring fans can enjoy a festive football afternoon. Season ticket holders and subscribers have a pathway to attend the match, with complimentary access options designed to fill the Solana stands on Christmas Eve eve. The club encourages supporters to pick up seats online or at the stadium box office, sharing the experience with family and friends as part of a memorable holiday event.
In a community-minded gesture, the club announced an on-site toy collection drive. Donated toys will be delivered to Alicante Hospital’s Children’s Unit, bringing joy to young patients as part of a broader commitment to local outreach during the holiday period.
