FC Andorra form and stats

FC Andorra have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the La Liga 2. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

A nice win for FC Andorra last time playing, versus Real Oviedo. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Lobete scoring for the victors. Finally, a league win after three fixtures without. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Armesto when Lobete scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute. González, defender, was given a rating of 7.85/10 in that game, top of the team. González won 8 of 10 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Mirandes.

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 FC Andorra have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 0 and lost 6.

Andorra has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches.

Sporting Gijón form and stats

Still no away game victory in the La Liga 2 for Sporting Gijón with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Impressive finishing from Insua and Campos secured the home win 2-1 against Tenerife in their previous game. The end of the last match, against Tenerife, was very satisfying as Insua scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Defender Ángel was the best team player with a rating of 8.11. Ángel hit the woodwork once, signed up for two assists, hit four key passes and won 1 of 5 duels.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Real Oviedo that ended 0-0.
