Pozoblanco vs Linense - Tercera División RFEF - Group 10

The Tercera División RFEF - Group 10 returns to the home ground on October 4, 2026, where Pozoblanco and Linense will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Catch up with all the action from Chelsea's pre-season clash with AC Milan.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the Tercera División RFEF - Group 10 contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. The hosts have struggled for consistency, L in their last five pointing to a win rate of 33.33%. Linense have struggled to string results together away from home, LL over their last five with a win rate of 33.33%. The contrast in attacking output — 1.33 versus 1.33 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. That result ended the European giants' 14-game unbeaten run in the competition, as Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham were contained by an "incredible" performance from a player barely anyone outside of France had heard of.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Pozoblanco may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Linense have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. It meant City had a three-man defence of Josko Gvardiol, Abdukodir Khusanov and Ruben Dias when in possession.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Reports from the Corriere dello Sport claim that Lazio could be interested in a potential loan deal for the towering Italy centre-forward.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 1-1 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. With positions in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 10 table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
