Almudévar vs Illueca - Tercera División RFEF - Group 17

All eyes turn to the home ground on October 4, 2026 as Almudévar welcome Illueca in a Tercera División RFEF - Group 17 encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. That coronation came from City's £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson - and has been hotly debated in the build-up to the Manchester derby Super Sunday showdown at Old Trafford, which you can watch live on Sky Sports.

There is little to choose between Almudévar and Illueca on paper, and the Tercera División RFEF - Group 17 encounter should reflect that balance. Confidence is coursing through the home camp, with W in their last five and a season win rate of 66.67% underscoring their momentum. It has been a wretched run on the road for the visitors, LLL in their last five and a win rate of 0% that explains their lowly standing. The contrast in attacking output — 2 versus 0 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. If he finds a way of those three players gelling and playing together - making one of them run in beyond - then Chelsea will have a very good season.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Almudévar may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Illueca have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. The Inter Miami forward is expected to continue playing at club level, but whether he extends his international career for another two years remains one of the biggest questions facing Argentina.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 2-2. Whatever the outcome, the Tercera División RFEF - Group 17 fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs.
