Barça Atlètic lean on home advantage to stay top

Barça Atlètic are counting on home advantage to remain top of Group 2 of the Segunda Federación as they host SD Logroñés. After six rounds, the side have 13 points from a possible 15 and still lead the group. Their opponents have only two points, sit third from bottom and are yet to win a match.

Barça Atlètic’s record includes four wins and a draw. They have also kept a clean sheet in four matches. That form underpins their bid to hold on to first place, but Belletti is wary of a young opponent founded in 2009.

“They are a dangerous opponent despite their negative results; they play well, have a good counterattack and possess quality,” the Brazilian coach said. Belletti is prepared to “make adjustments”. SD Logroñés, meanwhile, will be looking to end its winless start and ease the pressure.

Alongside this fixture, Barça officially announced that Pedro Rodríguez’s contract had been extended until 2030.
