UD needed that hug in the form of two consecutive victories to continue having strength in the face of its battle for promotion. Because, sometimes, you can be doing things well, putting your whole heart into your daily work, and still feel clumsy. The positive always reinforces. And today, after that uncomfortable but healing conversation, the yellows know they want to wait.
Wait to rise, stand firm to smile. It doesn’t matter what curves may come, as there will continue to be, the comings and goings or the rollercoaster of emotions. Luis García’s men dream of returning. And they will continue to give everything so that that opportunity arrives.
At the Carlos Belmonte, where UD Las Palmas visits Albacete, two contrasting teams will meet. While the people from La Mancha have accumulated five consecutive days without winning, the people from Gran Canaria are I’m on my way to two months without losing.
Las Palmas turned around its bad streak, almost fatal in 2026, and seems to reverse its flight. Because the island team knew how to embrace that suffering to rise from calm and determination. Now there are seven consecutive games without losing, having won, on top of that, their last two league games. A third party would boost morale. Like when you are going to leave where there are already leftovers and They hold your hand to tell you everything without having to say anything.
It will be an important match for UD’s purpose, which is none other than to continue hitting the table in that race to climb to the First Division. Also where there will be duels against familiar faces. A player who left an indelible mark there returns to Albacete: Manu Fuster. Already in the first round marked in Gran Canaria and he did not present it.
Yes I could do it Jefté Betancor, involved in controversy for saying publicly that he would love to sign at UD, and that later, after the La Mancha reprimand, he made it clear that, with respect, he would celebrate a goal against the yellows. Under the sticks, another old acquaintance on the island: Raúl Lizoain.
Not many new developments are expected in the UD eleven, although it is expected the ownership of Sergio Barciawho would accompany Viti, Mika and Cristian in the rearguard. In the engine room, Enzo and Amatucci, as always. On the wings, Miyashiro and Fuster. It’s a great hook for Jesé to bite and score.
Yet, You have to fight for what you want.. UD dreams and longs for promotion. The shortest way to achieve this is to add three at a time. And that’s what Luis García’s boys are going for.
