Who mentioned the Classic when Hercules plays at Rico Pérez? Ruben Torrecilla's team has asked for the support of their fans this week to keep the atmosphere alive at Rico Pérez (Saturday at 21:30) despite the clash with Real Madrid-Barcelona. The Alicante club wanted to advance the match, but the Madrid team refused, and there was no room for maneuver because the Federation requires the consent of both opponents.

Hercules will seek their fourth victory at Rico Pérez against Atlético's reserve team after wins against Ceuta (2-0), Real Murcia (2-0), and Antequera (1-0). Torrecilla's team only dropped two points against Intercity (1-1), and the Extremaduran coach knows what his team must do against Atlético B led by Fernando Torres. "We must make the match extremely uncomfortable for them. If a reserve team has its day and finds spaces, it drives you crazy and defeats you at Rico Pérez. But they can also have a bad day and disconnect from the matches... That's what we will try to do to continue our good momentum in front of our fans," insisted Torrecilla.

The initial lineup of Hercules will present several changes compared to Yecla. The coach will not start with four central midfielders, and the return of Javi Moreno to the right wing is expected. Thus, Artiles and Mangada are competing for a spot, as Mario García and Roger Colomina have been untouchable so far in the engine room.

Regarding the infirmary, Oriol Soldevila's presence will not be decided until hours before the match. The Catalan is in the final stage of recovering from his ankle sprain and has trained with the group several times this week, but Torrecilla is clear that he will not be forced because a relapse would be the worst news, and what happened with Alvarito is a sign. Forward Dani Romera will return to the squad, who could have minutes in the second half if the game becomes challenging. On the other hand, the aforementioned Alvarito and defender Sotillos are ruled out, both with medium-grade muscle injuries suffered during the visit to Algeciras.

The probable lineup for Hercules this Saturday would be: Carlos Abad; Samu Vázquez, Montoro, Josema, Del Moral, Mario García, Colomina, Artiles; Javi Moreno, Nico Espinosa, and Agus Coscia.
