Gazte Berriak vs Doneztebe FT - Tercera División RFEF - Group 15

A fascinating Tercera División RFEF - Group 15 chapter awaits on October 3, 2026 when Gazte Berriak take on Doneztebe FT at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Enzo Maresca and Rico Lewis held a pre-match press conference on Saturday as Manchester City prepare to face Atletico Madrid in their third pre-season friendly of the summer.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the Tercera División RFEF - Group 15 contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. Gazte Berriak are operating at a remarkable level, their WL run and a season win rate of 66.67% placing them among the Tercera División RFEF - Group 15's very best. Road trips have been a source of frustration for the visitors — DL in their last five, a season win rate of 33.33%. The contrast in attacking output — 1.33 versus 2.33 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. That’s according to Miguel Delaney of the Independent, who also adds that the Gunners remain keen on another world class forward in the form of Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Gazte Berriak will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Doneztebe FT will back themselves to cause problems on the break. His all-action approach did not just suit the demands of Luis Enrique, it appeared to have a transformative effect on those around him, setting new standards in the forward line.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. On his Arsenal debut against Girona, Tzolis strode forward with confidence at his defender, cut inside defiantly and slotted an effort into the bottom corner, via a slight deflection.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose.
