Santanyí vs Constància - Tercera División RFEF - Group 11

The Tercera División RFEF - Group 11 returns to the home ground on September 13, 2026, where Santanyí and Constància will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. 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.

Both camps will view the Tercera División RFEF - Group 11 meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts have struggled for consistency, W in their last five pointing to a win rate of 33.33%. The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, LL in their last five and a win rate of 33.33% reflecting their unpredictability. Where Santanyí have leaned on defensive discipline, Constància have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. Meanwhile, Paige Bueckers struggled to find her rhythm, going 5-for-13 for 15 points in the loss.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Santanyí will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Constància will back themselves to cause problems on the break. City also want to continue improving their attack, with a top left-winger still in the offing too.

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. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. City have now set an asking price of at least £70m for their star midfielder.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 11 picture. The club are understood to favour a profile closer to Aurelien Tchouameni or a Premier League‑proven alternative rather than Manu Kone.
