New opportunity for Avilés. The blue and whites face Arandina, bottom of their group, today at home at 12:00 noon. The rival seems ideal to achieve once and for all the first victory at home, something that has been resisting all season. But, despite the situation of the Burgos team, the Avilesinos cannot trust themselves, because the statistics work against them. And the thing is that those from Villa del Adelantado are not being able to beat their rivals from the lower part of the table, something that is hindering them at the qualifying level.
There are several examples during this campaign. The first of them was seen in front of the Cayón outside the house. The Aviles team, at that time directed by Emilio Cañedo, traveled to Cantabrian lands with the intention of adding the second consecutive victory away from Suárez Puerta. Despite their superiority, the blue and white team were not able to break down Cayón’s defensive wall and returned to Asturias with a 0-0 scoreline.
The next visit was to Coruxo, which when they faced Avilés was the red lantern of the competition. The Galicians came out with the clear intention of using the Avilesinos as their turning point to turn the season around, and proof of this was that they managed to get ahead on the scoreboard. Natalio, from the penalty spot, was in charge of putting the tie on the scoreboard to secure a point, but that was not enough to secure a victory.
Against Oviedo Vetusta and Marino the story was very similar. Against the blue reserve team, Avilés promised themselves a very happy time when Mecerreyes scored a real great goal, dribbling past everyone who crossed his path, but Yayo was in charge of ruining the Avilesinos’ party. The blue and white team did not have a peaceful match against the Gozo team either. Mecerreyes saw the second yellow card around the 35th minute, which gave Marino numerical superiority, something they took advantage of to dominate Sánchez Murias’s men. In both matches, the result was the same, two draws that meant little for Avilés’ aspirations.
That’s why now it’s time to change that dynamic. Arandina arrives at Suárez Puerta with their minds thinking more about the Copa del Rey, where they face Cádiz, than about the league duel, something that the Avilesinos must take advantage of. Furthermore, the people from Burgos are in the doldrums, since they have three defeats and a draw in their last four games. That, added to the non-payment problems that the Castilian club is experiencing, opens up a sea of possibilities for Avilés, which needs a victory that will allow it to move away from the hot zone of the classification.
In addition, fans are looking forward to some joy before the winter break arrives.
To achieve that first victory at home, Sánchez Murias will have to solve the great mystery of the week. After the aforementioned expulsion, Mecerreyes will have to watch the game from the stands, which forces the Gijón coach to find a replacement for him. With Cortina fully recovered, it is most likely that a change of scheme will be seen, with the Oviedo player as the only pivot along with two midfielders ahead. The blue and white coach already left Guram in the stands against Marino, so everything indicates that he prefers to have him as a resource on the bench before giving him the starting job. The change in system would open a gap for Natalio, who in Luanco lost ownership in favor of Jorge. Back, after the defensive revolution of the regional derby, Iván Serrano would return to his position, which would send Pedro Orfila to the bench.
An early final. This is how the Avilés players classified the duel against Arandina. Seeing the scoring crisis they are experiencing, they are not exaggerating. Therefore, taking advantage of all the circumstances, the blue and white have to win, no matter what, to try to close the year in the best possible way. And, with this, provide a triumph to its audience once and for all.
