Following back-to-back wins, Sergi Guilló sits on the bench as Orihuela aims to extend its strong run against the team that opened the season with a 1-4 victory at Los Arcos.
Orihuela’s head coach Sergi Guilló emphasized belief in his squad. He noted that the players can beat anyone, recognizing Sevilla Atlético as a top team that competes at a high level. He spoke about the challenge, stating that the subsidiary squad fights hard and remains among the league’s leaders.
The yellow team will likely rely on their recent winter signing up front for this clash. Sebas Chalbaud, brought in to bolster the attack, is valued for his ability to press from the back and link play. He joins a forward line that already features several options, increasing the team’s offensive depth.
Looking ahead to the second round of the Fourth Group in the Second Federation, Orihuela’s potential starting XI for the opener features Aitor Arias, Marc Sirera, Juanma García, Mendinueta, Goyo Medina, Booker D. Ortíz, De las Cuevas, Juanmi Callejón, Salinas, and Revilla or Sebas in a forward role.
La Nucia will react
La Nucía faces a decisive test in Lleida this Sunday at 17:00. Recent squad changes mark a push to climb out of the standings crisis, a situation that left them stranded at the bottom of the Third Group with just eleven points.
Lleida Esportiu presents a difficult challenge for La Nucía as they attempt the urgent revival. The Catalan side travels to Camp d’Esports after a narrow defeat to Hércules, a result that compounds La Nucía’s need for a positive performance on the road against a team aiming to rebound quickly.

In this context, La Nucía sits at the bottom of the Third Group in the Second Federation and must collect three points against Lleida to keep relegation fears at bay. The club looks toward renewed optimism after a disappointing first portion of the season.
To strengthen the squad, the club has enlisted Mario Cartagena to the bench and welcomed back midfielder Adrian León along with forwards Juan Delgado and Christian Martinez. These players will join the team for the second stage as La Nucía fights to avoid a relegation setback.
With Mario Cartagena available on the touchline, the likely lineup for the match could include Rodri Gea, Valín, Álex Salto, Pajarero, Monterde, Adri León, Eneko Delgado, Christian, Javi Serra, Juan Delgado, and Mariano Sanz.
