Olot travels to Santa Eulària des Riu with the aim, but above all the need, to add the three points of the course. The Garrotxins visit (12:00) Penya Deportiva, which still doesn’t know what it means to lose.
The volcanic team, penultimate with two points, is starting to feel the urge to win. Growing from victory is always easier. The coach, Manix Mandiola, does not think that the team is that far from victory: “We are not far from the rivals or from winning any game either. I see the people mentally, we are always optimistic and we think we will have a good game in Ibiza. We have no other option but to continue working.”
For the visit to the Islands, Olot continues to be without the injured Castells and Blázquez. Neither precedents nor statistics invite optimism. The reds have never won in the Balearic Islands or in Ibiza in the league and Penya Deportiva have not yet lost this term. Manolo González’s men, who last year played in the “play-off” for promotion to the 1st RFEF, have six points, but have only managed one victory. Defeating the islanders is, indisputably, about fine-tuning your aim. Two missed penalties and only one goal in four games weighed down Olot. In addition, as Mandiola says, the Olotinos have lost five points for “small details”. Repeating them would increase the problems in Garrotxa.
