The Racing de Santander plays a good part of its aspirations of direct ascent this Sunday, May 11, at 2:00 p.m., in a match that has all the ingredients to become one of the great appointments of the season. The rival will be the real Oviedo, One of the most in the form of LaLiga Hypermotion and a historic Spanish football with whom there is a strong rivalry.
The clash, corresponding to day 39, will be played in a sardinero who will register an absolute full and that has been declared high risk by the authorities, due to the sports importance of the duel and the displacement of a large group of Asturian followers.
It will undoubtedly be a football afternoon of which they make fondness. For the context, for what is at stake, for the environment that is expected in the stands and because facing Oviedo is always something special. Racing comes to this meeting after having stumbled in Cartagonova in front of Colista Cartagena, in a match that was a hard blow to the Verdiblancas aspirations.
The defeat left the team touched together and will force to react with character and football if you want to maintain your options intact directly to the First Division.
The club’s weekly plan reflects that seriousness that the week is faced. After the return of Cartagena on Monday, May 5, the team has had a rest day on Tuesday to disconnect and regain strength. From Wednesday 7, José Alberto López’s coaching staff will intensify work with daily training at 11:00 hours.
The sessions of Wednesday, Friday and Saturday will be held at Nando Yosu facilities, while Thursday’s moves to Sport fields, so that players make contact with the grass where the match will be played.
It will be a full week of preparationin which it will seek to recover the best version of the team and correct the defensive and lack of intensity errors that cost expensive in Cartagena.
The sardinero, as happened against Deportivo, Levante or Huesca, will be a boiler. The “No tickets” poster was hung days ago and the club has activated the subscription assignment system so that no locality is empty.
The hobby’s response has once again spectacular, with virtual tails of more than 1,000 people the day the early sale for subscribers was activated. In total, more than 22,000 Verdiblancas souls will push the team again in one of the most important matches of the course.
The rivalry between Racing and Oviedo is well known
Two historical clubs, with a very faithful social mass, a long career in professional football and a shared history of decisive duels. This time it will not be different. Both teams arrive at day 39 in full fight for promotion, with Racing third with 66 points and the fourth oviedo with 65. The Levante is also second with 66 and Elche, leader, has 71. In the absence of only four games, each point is gold and each error is paid very expensive.
The party against Oviedo has been declared high risk by the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Interance in Sports. This involves a special reinforcement of security measures, both inside and outside the stadium.
The arrival of at least 1,200 Ovetenses fans is expected, who will occupy the area enabled for the visiting fans. Therefore, the environment will be high voltage, both in the stands and on the grass, and the access controls and coexistence between hobbies will be especially monitored.
From the sports point of view, Racing must show a very different version than the one offered last Sunday in Cartagena. José Alberto can count on all important players, with the exception of Íñigo, injured, and must decide whether he maintains the base of the starting team or introduces changes after the defeat.
Racing-Oviedo will be more than a game. It will be a thermometer of the real moment of both teams, a fire test in which only two options fit: getting up or falling behind. The ascent is shot, but there is less and less margin. The accounts are clear: if Racing wins its four games, it will be in First. But it doesn’t depend only on himself. You need to overcome, yes, but also wait
