Cordoba recovers this season one of its great weapons to survive in the frenetic Second Division. El Arcángel is once again an unbeatable fortress for Iván Ania’s boys. For now, the only points that the team has scored in the first five rounds come from the stronghold of Blanquiverde. A fact that comes from afar because the team has played eight consecutive games without losing in the eventa, from the last stretch of the First Federation to the beginning of the Second. A weapon capable of achieving an exciting season, allowing the team to achieve its objectives.
The victory against Deportivo de La Coruña on the last day was the eighth consecutive match of the green and white team without defeat at El Arcángel. Five achieved in the final stretch of the championship in the First Federation and the first three home duels in the Second Division (Burgos, Malaga and Depo). The data goes further. The team has suffered only one defeat in its last fifteen home games.
But the most surprising thing is that in a year only two defeats have been recorded. Since the defeat against Linares Deportivo in September 2023, the team has only lost at El Arcángel against Real Madrid Castilla in January and against Alcoyano in April. The team has achieved get strong in your own homewith data that invite optimism for a good season in the Second Division. Now, he must find the same reliability at home as happened last season in the First Federation, also under the orders of Iván Ania.
More than 16,000 members
Archangel has one of the most numerous hobbies in the category. This year, he has more than 16,000 membersand there are nearly 20,000 spectators who gather every week in the stadium. A weapon against rivals who have to face yet another rival. The last to suffer was Deportivo. His own coach, Imanol Idiakez, recognized that El Arcángel is “a stadium that squeezes and winning here is complicated. It also cost Burgos and Malaga dearly in the first league games. The green and white team plans to become stronger in its own field to have an important advantage in a long season in the Second Division.
Curiously, since the fourth day of last season in the First Federation, the team has made El Arcángel its private fortress. They lost to Linares in September 2023 and went six games without losing at home until they crossed paths with Real Madrid Castilla in January. The first match of 2024 in which they were defeated (1-2) in front of their fans. Then they played six more games without defeat at home until the match against Alcoyano (0-1). A blur in the good last part of Córdoba’s journey that culminated with the promotion to the silver category.
Córdoba strengthened their stadium with the play-off for promotion to the Second. In the last games of the season, they faced Málaga, Ponferradina and Barcelona B. They won the last five home games, which allowed them to be promoted to professional football five years later. The Archangel showed his best version in First RFEF and now he wants to continue the momentum in Second. For the moment, he is achieving it because he has not yet lost at home. Three days in El Arcángel that result in two draws and a victory. The next rival to beat at home will be Racing de Ferrol, who arrives at the bottom of the table.
The Arcángel managed to bring out the best version of a team that needed confidence after a bad start to the championship. They managed to score against Burgos and could get the victory if they do not make mistakes in defense. Significantly improvedespecially in defense, against Malaga but without a goal. Against Deportivo he had one of his best games that earned him the first victory of the season. Therefore, the evolution at home invites optimism among the fans. As Burgos did last season, Córdoba wants to take advantage of its strengths at home.
