Today's miniderbi may be late to be reissued again. The game, together with other results of the day, can give Castilla its mathematical classification for the future Segunda B Pro (officially called First RFEF) and the possibility of opting for the playoff for promotion to Second. To Atlético B, condemn it to the fourth category (Second RFEF) and to fight not to go down another step. Both subsidiaries will jump to the field knowing what is at stake.
Castilla, when the calendar and the postponements have allowed them to pick up the rhythm of matches, they have set cruising speed. Even diminished by the casualties of the players who for several weeks attended the call of the first team against the overbooking in the infirmary. Raúl's men are unstoppable, with four wins and a draw in their last five games. Another triumph, coupled with a stumble from DUX Inter or Rayo Majadahonda, will mathematically classify the madridistas among the top three. “The team is very well, with very good dynamics in these last games,” says Arribas, who has enjoyed minutes under Zidane in five games.
Atlético B arrives in Valdebebas feeling capable of anything. The affiliate has gone from being sunk to being faced with many options to avoid promotion. The accounts come out. He must hunt down the Navalcarnero, his rival within seven days. But first it would be very good to score in the miniderbi, let alone win. “We arrived at our best moment,” says Nacho Fernández of his team, which has linked four games without losing and has won the last two. In addition, he has the entire staff available. The subsidiary has improved in defense and attack, with Simeone and Camello becoming more and more empathetic.
In the first round, the miniderbi decided on the add-on. Garcés drew a penalty in 91 'for Gila's goal and Castilla took the victory (1-2) in 96' with another penalty, transformed by Arribas.
Schedules of day 17 and classification of subgroup 5-A of Second B.
