Ibai Gómez’s side sit in fourth place with 9 points and are among the category’s top five teams for the first time this season. That tally leaves Los Blanquillos just one point behind leaders Villarreal B, who have 10 points.
The Groguets remain top for another matchday, level on points with Real Jaén, followed by Real Murcia and Real Zaragoza with nine points each, while Atlético Madrileño occupy the final playoff spot with eight. Should Real Madrid Castilla win their postponed match, the white-clad reserve side could move into sixth place with seven points.
Real Zaragoza’s next match will be against U.D. Ibiza this Friday at 9:15 p.m. at Can Misses. Ibai Gómez’s team will be aiming to claim a fourth straight victory and attempt to take over the top spot in the standings.
HUESCA AND TERUEL
S.D. Huesca could only draw with Atlético Madrileño (0-0) and have dropped to 13th place in the standings with five points. They are two points clear of the relegation zone and four points from the upper reaches, a gap shaped both by how little of the competition has been played and by the tightness of the category.
Teruel, meanwhile, remain deep in the standings with one point to their name. Kiko Ramírez’s side have now suffered three consecutive defeats and are three points short of safety.
