The Fuenla red line

Duel of obligations. UD Almería and Fuenlabrada pursue different goals but in the Mediterranean they will have to play with the pressure. If the rojiblancos are aware that victory would give them the lead while waiting for Eibar-Burgos, a joy would place the people of Madrid just one game away from permanence. And this is where the analysis is not at all positive for the rival from Almería.

Problems
On matchday 9, with José Luis Oltra on the bench, Fuenlabrada won the Fernando Torres against Leganés (2-1), and climbed to seventh position with 13 points, smelling the Play Off and leaving the relegation to four. However, the markers began to turn their backs and not winning came close to burning. The November 13when match day 16 was held, the blues fell 3-0 in Valladolid and stepped on the category red zone. Since then they have not been able to go out, accumulating thirteen dates, and it has been largely due to the large number of draws and only one victory. First with Oltra and now with Pellicer, the club hopes to escape from the bottom as soon as possible because there is not so much competition left.

Since that month of November, only one team has gone empty against Fuenlabrada. It was Las Palmas’ turn to lose 3-2 at the Fernando Torres. Ties pile up but they do not give him to escape: Mirandés (1-1), Sporting (1-1), Almería (1-1), Real Valladolid (0-0), Eibar (0-0), Real Oviedo (0-0) , and Alcorcon (2-2). And also the defeats: Real Valladolid (3-0), Burgos (2-0), Ibiza (1-2), Girona (2-1), and Cartagena (3-0). Sunday’s setback against Alcorcón was as hard as it was unexpected, letting a two-goal lead slip away to equalize (2-2).

Given
The people of Madrid are in twentieth position with 26 points, four from permanence, and each day that passes they will move further away from the objective if they do not manage to add three. In the analysis of the next rojiblanco rival, neither José Luis Oltra nor Sergio Pellicer have found the key away from home. He has not won since August 21 in the visit to Alcorcón (0-2), a neighborhood derby that gave a warning of what was to come. They stopped Almería from home and want to do the same in the second round.
