CE Manresa, recently crowned champions, will travel to Baix Llobregat to face UE Cornellà on Sunday at 12:30pm. While the match holds no consequence for Manresa, it is critical for the home side's play-off ambitions.
UE Cornellà is currently battling Badalona for second place in the league. Securing this position would give them a more favourable draw in the upcoming promotion play-offs. L'Hospitalet, in fourth, also remains a threat, with a chance to overtake Cornellà.
Manresa's Dominance and Cornellà's Fight
This fixture could have been a high-stakes championship decider if UE Cornellà had won their previous match against Europa B. However, their defeat in Gràcia allowed Sergi Trullàs's Manresa squad to secure promotion to Segona RFEF with two games remaining in the season, according to Nació Digital.
The reverse fixture saw UE Cornellà draw at Congost after a highly disputed offside goal in added time, following a dominant performance by CE Manresa. That draw marked a turning point for Manresa, who then embarked on a strong run of form and results, ultimately leading them to win the league two matches early.
Looking ahead, Manresa will use these final games to maintain their rhythm as they prepare for life in Segona RFEF. For UE Cornellà, the focus is squarely on securing the best possible play-off seeding, with their performance against the champions directly impacting their path to promotion.
