Ebro was sent out of Copa Federacion in the 16th finals last season.When we have look at the Copa Federacion statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ebro's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Impressive finishing from Álex Altube (2), Éder Díez and Miguel Díaz secured the home win 4-1 against Cerdanyola del Valles in their previous game.
Prior to that match, the Ebro manager R. Jardiel Dobato faced defeat when travelling to Espanyol II and losing 0-3.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ebro manager R. Jardiel Dobato as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Terrassa.
It's a day of discovery for Ebro as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Ebro have played two with the results W1-D0-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games Ebro has scored 2 goals and conceded 2 times.
