CE Manresa has recently reversed its dynamic, finding the necessary solidity at its stadium, El Congost, to secure ten of the last twelve possible points and enter the contention for the leadership of Group V of the Tercera Federació.

The Bages team has recently found at El Congost the solidity it had previously shown as a visitor during the initial phase of the season. The recent good results —three wins, two draws, and zero losses— have allowed CE Manresa to fight for the leadership of Group V of the Tercera Federació.
Until a few weeks ago, CE Manresa stood out for being a much better visiting team than a local one. They had only managed one victory at El Congost in the first two months of competition. This dynamic has been reversed, and the team led by Sergi Trullàs now accumulates five consecutive home games without defeat.

In twenty-one matchdays, CE Manresa has scored eleven goals at home in ten games, while they have scored twenty-two in eleven games as visitors, reflecting the difference in performance between home and away.

The red-and-whites have secured ten of the last twelve possible points at home, moving from fighting for a promotion play-off spot to catching up with Badalona and Cornellà in the race for the top position. The latest victory was this midday against CF Vilanova by 1-0, marking the second consecutive home win for the first time all season.
CE Manresa will have a good opportunity in the coming weeks to consolidate their solidity at El Congost and establish themselves at the top of the table, as their next fixtures will be against Europa B, Can Vidalet, Vic, and Cerdanyola, all teams from the lower half of the table.
