Penya Independent and SD Formentera play this Saturday in an unprecedented Pitiuso derby in the Second RFEF with many things at stake in the last match of the year for both squads (Municipal de Sant Miquel, 5 p.m.).
The squads led by Mario Ormaechea and Maikel Romero face an emergency match for both, immersed in the relegation spots in this complicated start to the season for the Pitiusan representatives in the fourth national category.
The situation of the newly promoted is more delicate, penultimate seven points from safety and three from its opponent, who precedes it in the classification with 14. They arrive at the event after adding two defeats in a row, so they need to react at first classic between both maximum pressure formations.
For Ormaechea it is “an important match, like all of them”, although since it is a derby they are playing at home they will try to take the initiative. «We will try to manage it well, be ourselves and try to win. We are playing very good games but what counts is winning and we are not adding. It’s time to start adding up,” admitted the Penya Independent coach, who highlighted the “so many problems” they are having in the form of injuries and sanctions. «This week Losada falls due to cards and Dani the goalkeeper, who in a domestic accident has hurt his knee a lot. With many problems but accustomed to them. With what we have, let’s try to win the game,” he said in statements to the club. Also missing from the orange ranks are goalkeeper Isi Jareño, Juanmi Heredero, Isuardi and Víctor Sala.
For its part, Formentera will charter a free bus from the port of Ibiza to transport fans who want to accompany their team in Sant Miquel.
