In the goal line of the Spaniards, 40-year-old Diego Lopez, an experienced goalkeeper, still holds his ground; as for the back line, coach Moreno seems to prefer to keep the formation of four defenders, and the expected starting lineup will be Alex Vidal, Selcie Gomez, Cabrera and Pedrosa. Of these, Selcie Gomez and Cabrera will play as center backs, while Pedrosa and Alex Vidal will hold down the left and right wingback positions, respectively.
In the midfield area, 24-year-old Albanian midfielder Kedi Bare will be in charge of midfield interceptions and tackles, and alongside him will be Spanish midfield powerhouse Darder. Behind them, Embarba and Puado are expected to be at the heart of the attack, tasked with combing the forward attack and providing firepower to the front line. As for the forward line, the team's top scorer, De Tomas, will undoubtedly be the main attacker; and partnering him will probably be 28-year-old Spanish striker Morón. Chinese star Wu Lei, on the other hand, is on standby as a substitute. Based on the above analysis, the Spaniards' projected starting lineup for this match against Elche may be: Diego Lopez; Alex Vidal, Selcie Gomez, Cabrera, Pedrosa; Caddy Bare, Darder, Embarba, Puado; De Tomas, Morón.
