Villarreal B looks for its first home win tonight against Gimnàstic de Tarragona. The Catalans are struggling to start the season, but every match is tough in the Segunda. This one will be no exception.
Manager José Molina has a thin 18-man squad:
Keepers: Diego Mariño, Jorge.
Defenders: Pere Martínez, Dorian Dervite, Florian Lejeune, Toño, Kiko Olivas, Jaume Costa.
Midfielders: Marcos Gullón, Toribio, Fofo, Iriome, Llorente, Jordi Pablo, Nico, Pedro Vázquez.
Strikers: Kike López, Joselu.
Allen noted some of the injury concerns: Airam Cabrera, Gonzalo Castellani, and Lucas Porcar are out. That's our top scorer and two best playmakers. Yikes. Sounds like the A team.
Jordi Pablo gets a big opportunity after fighting irrelevance and injuries for two years at Málaga (and on loan to Segunda side Cartagena). And let's how our filial lines up defensively with Lejeune in the mix from the start.
The match begins at 3 pm Eastern Time and will air on GolT in Spain. Consequently, expect a few streams. Endavant minisubmarino!
