CF Intercity returns to Antonio Solana on Saturday at 19:30, chasing a first home victory. Led by Gustavo Siviero, the team has earned two away wins but couldn’t find the net against Real Murcia. The black-and-white side now faces a recently relegated Second Division opponent, a reserve squad loaded with young talent that will battle hard for every point.
Intercity’s coach, Gustavo Siviero, spoke at the pre-match press conference about the clash with Real Sociedad B. He stressed the importance of strength at home and called the Basque reserve team a valuable test, one that could reveal how his squad responds under pressure.
After two road successes, a 0-1 win at Numancia in Soria and a 1-3 win over Gimnàstic in Tarragona, Intercity was held to a 1-3 loss by Real Murcia in Alicante. That setback only intensified the drive to secure a league result at Antonio Solana. The Argentine coach made clear the desire to erase the memory of the Murcia defeat and to build momentum at home. Siviero also commented on the red-card situation involving defender Ivan Kecojevic in Tarragona. He welcomed the overturn of the card, noting that the Montenegrin defender has always maintained he did not handle the ball, while acknowledging that refereeing in this level is challenging and open to scrutiny. According to Siviero, justice was served in recognizing the player’s stance, even as he admitted that referees face difficult decisions in youth and lower-division football.
Intercity’s coming opponents, Real Sociedad B, are known for a solid development program and a squad built around homegrown talents. Siviero described the challenge as very compelling: a young, dynamic team that will test Intercity’s ability to impose its own game plan. The head coach emphasized the chance to demonstrate collective strength against a club that prioritizes development and quality at the base. The tactical focus will be on pressing, organization, and exploiting spaces in the opponent’s structure, with the aim of translating training-ground ideas into match-day results.

Intercity Tarragona storm (1-3)
For Siviero, the immediate next test against Real Sociedad B is more than a routine match. It is an opportunity to consolidate a position near the top of the table and to showcase the team’s growth under pressure. The squad will approach the game with a balanced mix of patience and intensity, seeking to control the tempo and dictate the terms from the first whistle. The coaching staff has signaled that persistence will be key, especially against a side that emphasizes quick transitions and confident ball progression. The players understand what is at stake and are prepared to chase every advantage, no matter how small. [citation: Intercity coaching staff notes].
As the season progresses, the referee lineup remains a talking point for supporters and analysts. The appointed official for the Real Sociedad B match is Alonso de Ena Wolf, from Zaragoza, aged 30. This match will mark Wolf’s second season in the league after a strong run in the former Second B. His experience includes 46 officiated games in the competition, and he is expected to bring consistency to a fixture that could feature swift counters and disciplined defending. Intercity’s players will look to adapt quickly to the officiating style and capitalize on any openings that arise. [citation: Referee profile].
With confidence rising after strong showings away from home, Intercity aims to translate that form into a positive result at Antonio Solana. The club’s supporters will hope the team’s tactical discipline and collective spirit can unlock the stubborn defenses of Real Sociedad B, while Siviero’s strategy remains anchored in steady buildup, compact defending, and purposeful attacking bursts that can swing a match in their favor. The season’s narrative continues to unfold as the black-and-white squad strives to climb the standings and sustain momentum for the demanding professional campaign. [citation: Club overview].
