The 'arlequinat' squad, which had not started a matchday outside the top spot for thirteen weeks, seeks to regain good form and secure three crucial points to remain in contention for first place. The match, scheduled for 2 PM, will be broadcast live on Movistar Plus, LaLiga Plus, and Football Club.
“"We turn the page quickly whether we win, draw, or lose. What we need to improve is very present in our minds, and we work on it during the week so it doesn't happen again. We weren't focused. We need to return to the path of serenity, being organized, and not wanting to win before we start playing."
Coach Ferran Costa emphasized the importance of concentration and staying true to the playing style that has brought them this far. He stressed that, despite last week's defeat against Betis Deportivo, the team must focus on their football to achieve success.
Regarding absences, Costa will not be able to count on Sergi Segura, Jan Molina, or José Ortega. Additionally, Miguelete, who has been experiencing knee discomfort since the week before the match against Europa, is also ruled out. The good news is the return of forward Alan Godoy to the squad after serving a suspension for accumulated yellow cards. Two key players, Joel Priego and Diego Fuoli, are one yellow card away from suspension.
Sevilla Atlético, managed by Marco García, arrives at the match as the league's bottom team with 23 points, fourteen points from safety with only seven matchdays remaining. The Andalusian reserve team has gone fourteen matches without a win, with their last victory dating back to December 2025. Despite their position, Costa warned that the league has shown that any team can win in any scenario, and he stressed the need to do many things well to secure a victory in Seville.
This will be only the second time Centre d'Esports visits Sevilla Atlético. The only precedent was a goalless draw in the inaugural match of the Primera Federación in August 2021, with Antonio Hidalgo as coach. In the first-round match last November, Sabadell won thanks to a goal from Agustín Coscia.
