Burgos form and stats

Burgos have collected 11 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 3-2-1.

Burgos are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Tenerife. As you see from the result above, Burgos suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Burgos's goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero was extremely busy against Tenerife, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Alfonso Herrero, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 6.7 out of 10 in that game. Herrero stopped the opponent with six saves.

Ahead of that match, Burgos won a home game hosting Huesca (3-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Burgos perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Burgos as a small favourite), we find nine games. Burgos has won four of these, drawn two and lost three.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Burgos as they are travelling to their away game against Almeria in the La Liga 2. That match is three days after this one.

The Burgos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Burgos have only let in 3 goals at home.
