Racing de Ferrol vs Atletico Astorga
It is top against bottom when Racing de Ferrol today take on Atletico Astorga in the 19th round of Segunda B Group 1. Ferrol sit top of the table and have a six point cushion down to 2nd placed Racing Santander. After three straight convincing league wins they have stumbled a little in recent weeks only picking up two points from their last two games against Coruxo and Racing. Today though they have an excellent opportunity to get back on track when lowly Astorga come for a visit. Ferrol is the best home team in the league where they are still undefeated this season only dropping four points in 9 games. Needless to say, the visitors will have their work cut out for them today.
Team news: Jose Manuel Catala and Juan Martinez are out from before, otherwise Ferrol boss Miguel Tena has the rest of the squad available for selection.
Atletico Astorga only just managed to stay in the division last season and have continued to struggle. They sit bottom of the table having recorded only 13 points in 18 league rounds. Away from home they have only one win all season including only a single point in their last six matches traveling.
Team news: To add to their misery a few players have already left the club in the recently opened transfer window. First choice keeper Ricardo Alonso has departed for Alcoron B and midfielder Fa have left on a free transfer. Porfirio Puente, Manu Martínez and Marcos Fernández are also missing due to injury and suspension.
