Team News and Lineup Changes
Head Coach Oscar Pareja has been forced to make adjustments to the lineup due to suspensions. Key players Pedro Gallese and Robin Jansson are sidelined, leading to opportunities for Javier Otero in goal and Rafael Santos at left-back. David Brekalo shifts to centre-back to fill Jansson's void.
