CE Manresa, currently leading the 3rd RFEF, will visit CE L'Hospitalet this Sunday aiming to protect their top spot against a side desperate for points.

The team from Manresa arrives at a critical juncture in the season. Meanwhile, the home side hopes to turn their recent 0-3 victory against Europa B into a consistent winning run. This match marks the beginning of two consecutive home games for Hospitalet, representing a vital opportunity to climb the table.

"It is an opportunity to recover. The dressing room is more encouraged after the victory at Europa B's field. It has given us air to keep believing."

Defensive discipline will be the deciding factor. Juste noted that in this league, the teams with the fewest goals conceded are typically those at the top. Hospitalet will have to manage without injured players Uri and Artuñedo for the 12:30 PM kickoff.
