Barcelona B are in a good position to win their group in Segunda Division B, the third tier of Spanish football, giving them a spot in the playoffs that could result in promotion back into the second tier.
That’s because they’re 5 points clear at the top after a run of good results, most recently and perhaps most notably, a 4-0 thrashing of third-place Valencia Mestalla.
Meanwhile, second-place Alcoyano lost to relegation scrappers AE Prat, and have the opposite feel about them overall: while Barcelona B are beaming with confidence, Alcoyano are sinking.
