For the promotion to materialize, two conditions must be met: the home team must defeat Aretxabaleta, and their direct rival, Idiazabal, must not win their match. If this equation is fulfilled, Aloña Mendi would gain a ten-point advantage, mathematically securing promotion with three matchdays still to play.
Currently, Aloña Mendi leads the standings with an eight-point lead over Idiazabal. With twelve points still in play, even if promotion is not achieved this Sunday, the team will have three more matchdays to reach their goal.
“"We have come this far by playing the way we have, and the intention for Sunday is the same, to continue as before."
The team captain stated that, although there have been changes in the squad in recent years with veteran players leaving and young players from lower categories joining, they have responded well. He emphasized that at the beginning of the season, they would have signed up to be in the current situation. The Easter break has not negatively affected them, and they hope to maintain their good run.
Aloña Mendi has held the top position since the start of the season. They have won most of their home matches, with only two exceptions (a draw against Ordizia and a loss to Lagun Onak). Furthermore, they are the best team in the group in terms of goals, having conceded only fourteen and scored 68.
