Estepona vs Linares DeportivoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Estepona opened Group 4 with a goalless home draw against Xerez, their only competitive game of the new season. The end of the previous one was livelier: 3-1 against Real Madrid III and 2-2 at the same opponents in the play-offs, and before that a 1-1 at Yeclano, a 2-1 over Águilas and a 3-2 won at Linares Deportivo. Linares Deportivo arrive with fewer recent reference points: their last recorded outing is a 1-0 friendly win at Dos Hermanas, while their league season ended with a 1-2 home defeat to Extremadura 1924, preceded by a 4-2 at Melilla, the 2-3 at home to Estepona, a goalless draw at Xerez Deportivo and a 2-0 over Antoniano. The four meetings on record show Linares Deportivo without a win: 2-3 in April 2026 and 1-2 in March 2025 on their own ground, 1-1 in September 2025 and 1-1 in November 2024 at Estepona.
