Marbella FC Faces Three Challenging Matches Ahead
Marbella FC is looking at three highly demanding matches in the near future. The team has four games left to secure their spot in the promotion playoffs, where they have been all season. Three of these games will be particularly challenging against direct rivals.
Struggles Against Top Zone Rivals
The Whites have had a tough season when facing off against top zone rivals. They now have matches against Sevilla Atlético, Yeclano, and Águilas, in addition to the struggling Vélez. Marbella FC’s loss at the Real Betis Sports City has left the Marbella team shaky, with four games left to confirm their presence in the promotion playoffs.
Coach Fran Beltrán on Recent Loss
Following the match against the Betis subsidiary, coach Fran Beltrán insisted that the loss was fair and should hurt. He was undoubtedly appealing to the pride and self-esteem of a locker room that was far inferior to its rival during the 90 minutes.
Marbella FC Maintains Third Position Despite Loss
The only positive aspect of the day for Marbella was the stumble of some of their pursuers, which allows them to maintain their third position in the ranking with a five-point advantage over the sixth-placed team.
Upcoming Matches Against Direct Rivals
To achieve their goal, Fran Beltrán’s team will have to face three direct rivals: Sevilla Atlético, Yeclano Deportivo, and Águilas FC, as well as a Vélez team that is practically written off. The problem for the Whites comes from the poor results they have achieved this season against the top-ranked teams.
Marbella FC’s Performance Against Top Teams
Of the nine matches they have already played against the top seven teams in the league, Marbella has only won one. In addition to achieving three draws, points were obtained against Estepona and Orihuela. Against Betis Deportivo, they lost both matches, and against Sevilla, Yeclano, and Águilas, the Marbella team suffered three losses in the first round matches.
Final Stretch of the Season
This inability to win against direct rivals could be a major handicap in this final stretch of the season. The schedule will not give Marbella a break, as they will host Sevilla and Águilas at home and will have two consecutive away games against Yeclano and Vélez.
