Marbella FC to Face Yeclano Deportivo in a Crucial Match
Alex Bernal was seen in the only match played by Marbella FC in Yecla. This Sunday, Marbella FC is set to visit the Campo de La Constitución to face off against Yeclano Deportivo. The latter has proven to be a tough opponent for the white team in their brief shared history. During Marbella FC’s only visit to Yeclano, the Yecla team emerged victorious with a 3-1 win. Now, Marbella FC is visiting with the opportunity to secure a playoff spot for promotion.
Remembering the Historic Match of 1992
The memory of June 28, 1992, when Atlético Marbella confirmed their promotion to the Second Division by drawing a goalless match at the Campo de La Constitución against Yeclano CF, still lingers. However, neither of the two teams exist now, and Marbella FC and Yeclano Deportivo took over from their previous clubs in 1997 and 2004, respectively.
Marbella FC’s Chance for Playoff Promotion
Marbella FC is approaching this match with the possibility of confirming their presence in the playoff for promotion. Yeclano, on the other hand, has already secured their presence but still has options to fight for direct promotion. The Yecla team is entering this match in their worst form of the season, having suffered two consecutive losses for the first time. However, they have shown solid performance at home throughout the year, conceding only two losses and four draws.
Marbella FC’s Struggles Away from Home
The Marbella team, on the other hand, has demonstrated that they are very solid when playing at home, but struggle when playing away. Marbella’s last victory away from home was three months ago when they visited Manchego. Since then, they have managed three draws and three losses.
Short Shared History of the Two Teams
The shared history between the two teams is very brief, as they have only coincided in the same category on two occasions, in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons. There has only been one face-off between the two in Murcian territory. The only time Marbella FC has played against Yeclano Deportivo at La Constitución was in the 2020/21 season, in the group matches to avoid a relegation that affected both teams. That match ended with a local victory of 3-1, with Tresaco scoring the only goal for Marbella.
Marbella FC’s Opportunity for Redemption
This Sunday, Marbella will have a new opportunity to earn three points that would significantly bring them closer to the playoff for promotion. Depending on other results, they could potentially achieve this goal mathematically.
