The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Metaloglobus are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 14th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
