Marbella FC to Face Balompédica Linense in a Classic Rivalry
Marbella FC is set to host Balompédica Linense, one of their classic rivals in Segunda B, this Sunday. The match will take place at the Municipal Antonio Lorenzo, a venue where the two teams have faced off eight times before, all in Segunda B. The overall record of these encounters leans in favor of Marbella FC, who have secured four victories, three draws, and only one loss.
Marbella FC’s First Loss of the Season
Marbella FC suffered their first defeat of the season during their visit to Balona. Despite this setback, the team is looking forward to their match against Balompédica Linense, a club they have previously hosted eight times, all in Segunda B and all at the Municipal Antonio Lorenzo. The previous encounters between the two teams have been favorable for Marbella, who won four matches, drew three, and suffered only one defeat.
Upcoming Match at La Dama de Noche
The upcoming match, scheduled for Sunday at 16:30, will be the first time the two teams face each other at La Dama de Noche. The last match between Marbella and Balompédica Linense took place in the 2020/21 season, a season that Marbella would rather forget as they suffered a double relegation. That match marked the only victory for Balona in their visits to Marbella, winning 2-1 after coming from behind.
Previous Encounters Between Marbella and Balompédica Linense
In the 2019/20 season, the match between the two teams took place just a couple of weeks before the competition was suspended due to Covid-19, and the match ended in a goalless draw. In the 2018/19 season, Marbella managed to secure a victory thanks to goals from Juanma and Cruz. This win further distanced the team from Balompédica Linense, who were on the rise.
Marbella’s Winning Streak in Previous Seasons
In the season before that, Marbella won 1-0 with a goal from Francis Ferrón, keeping them at the top of the leaderboard. In the 2016/17 season, the two teams faced off in Marbella in the last match of the competition, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The goal for Marbella was scored by Goti from the penalty spot. In the 2015/16 season, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, with both goals for Marbella scored by Juanfri.
Marbella’s Triumph in the 2014/15 Season
In the 2014/15 season, Marbella triumphed with a goal from Alberto Quiles. This victory denied Balompédica Linense the chance to compete in the promotion phase to Segunda Division. The first time the two teams met in Segunda B was in the last match of the first round of the 2008/09 season. Marbella won convincingly with a 3-0 victory, thanks to goals from Carlos Rivera, Christian Leroy, and Santi Moreno.
