Roda vs Crevillente - Tercera División RFEF - Group 6

Roda prepare to host Crevillente at the home ground on September 19, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their Tercera División RFEF - Group 6 season. Mason Mount has been outstanding for Man Utd in pre-season but he could still face fierce competition for a place in Michael Carrick's side next season.

The standings add context to the occasion — Roda occupying 7th, Crevillente perched in 4th — and the gap between them shapes the narrative. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, LW in their last five reflecting a win rate of 50%. Crevillente travel in decent nick, DW in their last five and a win rate of 50% this season. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. Arsenal also saw the importance of having good depth at right-back when Mosquera was forced to start the Champions League final with PSG out of position - which then resulted in the young Spaniard conceding a penalty.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Roda will look to impose their style on home soil, while Crevillente are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. 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 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. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. Meanwhile, Ajax's new striker Tolu Arokodare continued his strong start by lashing in a fourth goal in three games in their 4-0 victory away to Telstar.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Despite the home advantage enjoyed by Roda, the weight of evidence favours Crevillente — a 2-3 away win is the call. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. 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.
