The Racing squad will include Agirrezabala; Mantilla, Manu Hernando, Facu, Salinas; Andrés Martín, Gustavo Puerta, Canales, Iván Martín, Íñigo Vicente; and Zabiri.

Both teams are eager to improve their standings, with Elche aiming to recover from their recent defeat and Racing looking to capitalize on their lineup changes. The match promises to be an exciting encounter as both teams strive for victory.
