The hosts Mérida AD saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Copa Del Rey. Thankfully the previous game, versus La Nucia, was also a home game here at Romano Jose Fouto. The away team is better rested.
Mérida AD form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Copa Del Rey for Mérida AD, as the manager Diego Merino led his troops to eliminate La Nucia, and reach the 2nd Round. Mérida AD was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Copa Del Rey.Mérida AD's struggle is real here at Romano Jose Fouto with only 9 points collected from 10 Segunda B - Group 4 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-6-3.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus La Nucia in the Copa Del Rey last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that game, the home loss against FC Cartagena with the scoreline 0-1.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against La Nucia last time out, but a goal from A. Pino completed a comeback to a draw result for Mérida AD. A disappointing finish for Mérida AD in their match versus La Nucia as their 3-1 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Celta de Vigo form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Pena Azagresa in order to reach 2nd Round of Copa Del Rey.
