Ceares vs Colunga - Tercera División RFEF - Group 2

The Tercera División RFEF - Group 2 returns to the home ground on September 20, 2026, where Ceares and Colunga will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. How smooth can you be when receiving the ball, how quickly can you move from the back foot, hips open, face forward and find quality with the pass.

Both Ceares and Colunga will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Tercera División RFEF - Group 2. The hosts have done enough without setting the world alight, LW over their last five and a 50% win rate to their name. Few sides travel as well as the visitors, with WW in their last five and a win rate of 100% marking them out as a class apart. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Ceares average 1.5 per game to Colunga's 2, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Dusan Vlahovic followed up his hat-trick on Monday by completing the comeback to leave Fenerbahce four points behind Galatasaray, who snatched a late winner at Basaksehir on Friday.

The tactical subplot is compelling: Ceares favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Colunga are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. His passing display at the World Cup was yet more evidence of his suitability for City and the possession-heavy style Maresca favours.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. However, it has been said that after asking for information on Zirkzee and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, the Blues forward is a more feasible option.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 2-2. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Tercera División RFEF - Group 2 standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
