Burgos form and stats

Burgos have collected 7 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 2-1-1.

Burgos faced defeat in their previous match, away at Alcorcón (0-1). Heartbreak for Burgos in their last match as Alcorcón's David Fernández scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.63 out of ten. Herrero stopped the opponent with three saves.

Before that, Burgos had a home game versus Mirandés which ended with a victory 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Burgos have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost three.

The manager J. Calero Fernández will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Real Oviedo in only four days.

Burgos are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Defensively Burgos have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Lugo form and stats

Playing away, Lugo have won 0 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the La Liga 2 this season.

Lugo go into this game after a win, the home game against Girona that ended 1-0. Manu Barreiro came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Girona last time out, making the manager R. Albés Yáñez feel like a tactical genius. Francisco Vieites (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.63. Vieites topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Leganés that ended 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lugo playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were two Lugo wins, four draws and four defeats.

After this away game Lugo return home for a La Liga 2 game against Las Palmas. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visiting Lugo have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 5 goals from 4 games. Lugo struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 6 goals conceded from these games.
