Spain’s Primera RFEF reaches matchday five on Sunday, 27 September, with early fixtures carrying weight at the lower end of the table. Barakaldo host Real Avilés at Lasesarre, while Ourense meet Cacereño, with Real Madrid Castilla also scheduled to face Alcorcón.
Quick facts
- Barakaldo v Real Avilés is a direct contest involving two sides seeking distance from the relegation places.
- Barakaldo have taken four points after losing their opening two league matches.
- Natalio and Cris Montes have each scored twice for the home side.
- Real Avilés have four points from four games, with two goals scored and five conceded.
- Avilés’ only victory came against Extremadura two rounds ago.
Barakaldo arrive with signs of recovery after a difficult start. Their four-point return has been driven by the goals of Natalio and Cris Montes, whose combined four strikes have proved decisive for Yago Iglesias’ team.
Natalio is set to begin on the bench, but his scoring form remains central to Barakaldo’s improving position. The meeting with Avilés offers both clubs an immediate chance to create breathing room above the danger zone.
Avilés, coached by Imanol de la Sota, have struggled for goals across the first four rounds. Their record stands at two scored and five conceded, leaving them close to the relegation places despite collecting four points.
Their solitary win so far was secured against Extremadura two matchdays ago. Captain Huidobro supplied the assist for Mattheus, whose goal delivered that result, and Mattheus will again be among the players Avilés hope can make the difference at Lasesarre.
Elsewhere in the Sunday programme, Ourense CF take on CP Cacereño, while Real Madrid Castilla face Alcorcón. The wider Primera RFEF field includes clubs such as Mirandés, Unionistas de Salamanca, CE Europa, Mérida, UD Logroñés, Rayo Majadahonda, Pontevedra, Ponferradina, Antequera, Real Jaén and Teruel.
