Almería form and stats

Almería, who have the most scored goals (46) in La Liga 2, have played 13 La Liga 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-2-4 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Almería, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Almería are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Huesca. Preceding that match was the home game against Racing Santander that was lost 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Almería have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost two.

A decent goal production from Almería in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 13 league matches. Almería's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Fuenlabrada form and stats

Playing away, Fuenlabrada have won 4 games, drawn 5 and suffered 5 defeats in the La Liga 2 this season. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Fuenlabrada, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Cádiz game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Fuenlabrada are looking to quickly end their 457 minutes long goal drought in the La Liga 2.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga 2 home defeat versus Lugo with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Real Zaragoza that ended 0-0.

Fuenlabrada are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, two draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fuenlabrada as they have only managed to score 13 times from 14 away games in the league. Fuenlabrada have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Fuenlabrada - Almería 2-2 played earlier this season.
