Arnau Martínez, Viktor Tsygankov, Yaser Asprilla, Alejandro Francés, Jhon Solís, and Iván Martín are back from injuries and are in contention to start here. Yangel Herrera picked up a calf injury on international duty with Venezuela and is sidelined for the remainder of the year.
Periquitos have seen a drop in form recently, suffering six losses in their last eight games across all competitions. They have lost five of their six away games in LaLiga this season, failing to score in three.
Pol Lozano and Marash Kumbulla have trained with the group and face late fitness tests.
Both teams have some injury concerns ahead of this match. Nonetheless, considering the home advantage for Blanquivermells and their better goalscoring form, the hosts are expected to eke out a narrow win.
