Those of Rafa Marquez They have just lost at home against Deportivo de La Coruña (1-2) but remain in promotion play-off positions
The play-off is at stake. Barça Atlètic, which is fifth in Group 1 of the First RFEF, visits Lugo, a team that was in Second A last season and is currently one of the four teams in the category that are still alive in the Cup del Rey together with Unionistas, Málaga and Castellón.
But the most important thing about the match is that the fifth placed against the sixth placed, that is, if Rafa Márquez’s team wins, or even if they draw, they will remain in promotion play-off positions, but if they lose, they will leave the them, as he will be overtaken by Lugo himself, who now has 25 points to Barça Atlètic’s 26.
The Blaugranas won their last away game, in Palamós against Cornellà (0-2), but lost last day at the Estadi Johan Cruyff against Deportivo de La Coruña (1-2).
Márquez’s team took the lead with a goal from Pau Víctor, but Imanol Idiakez’s team, well supported by the entire side stand of the Blaugrana fiefdom, turned the game around. Davo scored in extra time in what was Barça Atlètic’s first defeat of the season at home.
The return of Noah Darvich
Despite the defeat, Pau Víctor did not miss his appointment with the goal and established himself as the top scorer in Group 1 of the First RFEF. The forward on loan from Girona has already scored 10 goals in this championship, in addition to providing two assists.
One of the big news expected in the squad is Noah Darvich, who has returned as U-17 world champion with Germany. The midfielder, however, is not a starter with Rafa Márquez. He has participated in 6 games as a starter, all of them starting from the bench.
First team earrings
As usual, the reserve team is attentive to the needs of the Barça first team. Both are playing on the same day, so Rafa Márquez will not be able to count on the Barça Atlètic players in Lugo that Xavi Hernández decides to call for the Catalan derby against Girona. Those with the most options are Pau Cubarsí and Ander Astralagadue to the respective injuries of Iñigo Martínez and Marc-André Ter Stegen.
