Burgos form and stats

5 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. That’s the product of Burgos, who have the fewest conceded goals (14) away in La Liga 2, playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season. A depressing four defeats in a row for Burgos in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Real Zaragoza.

Burgos won their last game, 1-0 versus Villarreal II played at home. That win felt good as this side had gone three league fixtures without victory. Caro (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.42. Caro topped it up with a clean sheet.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Mirandes wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Burgos playing away, we found 7 games. Results were 2 away wins, 1 draw and 4 home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Burgos as they have only managed to score 10 times from 19 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (14 so far).

The two combatants have played earlier this season: Burgos - FC Cartagena 1-0. FC Cartagena-Burgos H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Cartagena one win, Burgos one win, one draw. zero of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
