Matarazzo Revamps Lineup with Classics to Defeat League’s Bottom Team
Pellegrino Matarazzo is set to return to a near-full-strength lineup for the crucial match against Oviedo, the lowest-ranked team in the league. This match, aptly, labeled ‘pan y mantequilla’, signifies its importance as a must-win for the squad. Matarazzo’s strategy involves making five changes from the team that faced Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Matarazzo Revamps Lineup with Classics
The team anticipates the return of several key players. Matarazzo will be making the following adjustments:
- Caleta-Car and Sergio Gómez will replace Zubeldia and Aihen in defense.
- Brais returns from suspension, taking Soler’s spot in the lineup.
- Turrientes will take over for Yangel Herrera.
- Guedes regains his position in place of Wesley.
Despite Soler missing the match due to gastroenteritis and personal commitments, Matarazzo aims to rely on familiar faces. Oyarzabal will continue as a forward, while Marín returns to the wing. The Croatian center-back, Caleta-Car, is expected to handle the anticipated aerial threats from Oviedo’s Viñas.
Starting Eleven Against Oviedo
The confirmed starting lineup for the match is:
- Goalkeeper: Remiro
- Defense: Aramburu, Jon Martín, Caleta-Car, Sergio Gómez
- Midfield: Gorrotxategi, Turrientes
- Attack: Guedes, Brais, Marín, Oyarzabal
On the bench, they will have Marrero, Odriozola, Aritz, Zubeldia, Aihen, Yangel, Zakharyan, Soler, Wesley, Ochieng, Óskarsson, and Karrikaburu available. Matarazzo’s reliance on experienced players signals a commitment to securing three points against their struggling opposition. This match could prove vital in bolstering the team’s standings in the league.
