Ceuta vs Córdoba rescheduled after storms as blanquiverdes face critical fixture pile-up
The postponed Segunda División clash between Ceuta and Córdoba has been rescheduled for February 25th as Iván Ania's men prepare for a crucial run of fixtures.
Weather-disrupted fixture finally gets new date as Córdoba face testing period that could define their promotion ambitions
New date confirmed
After storms Leonardo and Marta forced the postponement of Córdoba’s away trip to Ceuta, LaLiga has finally announced when the rescheduled match will take place. The Segunda División clash has been pencilled in for Wednesday, February 25th at 19:00 at the Alfonso Murube stadium.
The fixture backlog couldn’t have come at a more challenging time for Iván Ania’s blanquiverdes, who now face a proper testing run of matches that could make or break their promotion push.
Injury boosts ahead of crucial period
There’s some good news on the horizon for Córdoba fans though. The club is expecting to welcome back several key players for their upcoming fixture against Leganés:
- Rubén Alves
- Alcedo
- Alberto del Moral
- Potentially Kevin Medina
This injury boost comes at the perfect time as they prepare for what could be a season-defining stretch.
The gauntlet ahead
Córdoba’s upcoming fixture list is enough to give any supporter the collywobbles:
- February 17: Home vs Leganés (14:00) - A former top-flight side who’ve found form in recent weeks after Paco López’s dismissal
- February 21: Away at Almería - One of the toughest grounds in the division against a team still chasing automatic promotion
- February 25: Away at Ceuta - The rescheduled fixture
- March 2: vs Andorra
The blanquiverdes are currently on an impressive nine-match unbeaten run, but maintaining that form through this congested schedule will be a proper challenge.
Playoff implications
How Córdoba navigate this tricky period will likely determine whether they remain serious playoff contenders or fall away from the promotion picture. Their home form has been particularly concerning this season, making Saturday’s clash with Leganés even more significant.
The points accumulated during this February gauntlet could either cement Córdoba’s place in the playoff positions or leave them watching from the outside - a crucial juncture in what has been a promising campaign for Ania’s men.
