Costa Adeje Tenerife Egatesa is set to visit RCD Espanyol this Saturday at 11:00 local time, at the Ciudad Deportiva Dani Jarque. This match will honour the memory of Jesús De Miguel, a significant figure for the club.
The encounter is part of the 11th round of the Liga F Moeve. The blanquiazules are returning to competitive action after their previous match against Deportivo Alavés was postponed, a period marked by mourning and challenging circumstances for the club. This will be their first match since the postponement, with the memory of Jesús De Miguel very much in their thoughts.
Costa Adeje Tenerife aims to secure three points in what promises to be a demanding fixture. Head coach Yerai Martín acknowledged the difficulties of returning to training but praised the team's response during this challenging week. “It has been a tough week, but the team has handled the return to work well. All the tributes have been well-deserved. We were present at the beautiful tribute at the stadium and want to deliver a good result this Saturday,” he stated.
Looking ahead to the match, Martín anticipates a challenging game against Espanyol, who have established themselves in the top tier following their return and have a solid foundation from previous seasons. The Catalan side, managed by Sara Monforte, sits one point ahead of Costa Adeje Tenerife in the league standings, having played one more match. They are known for their organisation and intensity throughout the game.
Costa Adeje Tenerife currently occupies seventh place in the Liga F Moeve, with 14 points from nine matches, including four wins, two draws, and three losses. In their last three matches, they have achieved two victories and one defeat: winning against Athletic Club (2-0), losing to Real Madrid (3-2), and thrashing FC Badalona Women (0-4). The match against Deportivo Alavés was postponed.
Meanwhile, RCD Espanyol is in sixth place, with 15 points from ten matches, thanks to four wins, three draws, and three losses. The team is in good form, having secured two victories and a draw in their last three outings: defeating Granada (0-1) and Logroño United (2-1), and drawing with Real Sociedad (1-1).
In their last five encounters, Costa Adeje Tenerife has a positive record against Espanyol, winning twice and drawing three times.
