Platges Calvià vs Andratx - Tercera División RFEF - Group 11

All eyes turn to the home ground on October 17, 2026 as Platges Calvià welcome Andratx in a Tercera División RFEF - Group 11 encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. He is said to have been described as 'highly compatible with United’s press-heavy, fast-transition system.' United and Arsenal are set to face competition from AC Milan and FC Porto.

The standings paint a clear picture: Platges Calvià in 5th, Andratx in 14th, and both keen to climb. Platges Calvià have found a groove, WWWWL across their last five and operating at a win rate of 66.67% this season. The visitors have been enduring a wretched campaign, LLDDW in their last five and a season win rate of just 16.67% that leaves them deep in trouble. The contrast in attacking output — 1.83 versus 1 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. In terms of net spend, Liverpool topped the table with £219.4m, followed by Ipswich (£190.7m), Spurs (£176m) and Hull (£160.5m).

The tactical subplot is compelling: Platges Calvià favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Andratx are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. Rico Lewis played at right-back, but when City were in possession he tucked infield and supported the midfield pairing of Mateo Kovacic and Reijnders.

The weight of evidence points to Platges Calvià, and a 2-1 win for the hosts feels like the most probable outcome. With positions in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 11 table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. City were met with a hostile atmosphere at Anfield in the wake of their guilty verdict on 114 Premier League financial regulations violations.
