Lugo are welcoming Numancia for another important game after their 0-2 result against 9th-placed Sporting Gijón.

It's no vacation for neither Lugo nor Numancia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Lugo form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Lugo, who have the most conceded goals (27) at home in La Liga 2, have managed 5 wins, 7 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 18 games.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 270 minutes without scoring a league goal. Josete was the last player to find the net.

No payout for Lugo in their previous match, an away game at Sporting Gijón that ended in defeat 0-2. Before that, Lugo drew at home versus Malaga.

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

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

Lugo has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 27 goals have been conceded.

Numancia form and stats

Numancia have only collected 12 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 2-6-10 (18 played). A depressing seven defeats in a row for Numancia in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Alcorcon.

Numancia won their last game, 1-0 versus Real Oviedo played at home. Prior to that match, the Numancia manager L. Carrión Delgado faced defeat when travelling to Girona and losing 0-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Numancia playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were one Numancia win, four draws and six defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Extremadura UD in just three days.

The visiting Numancia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 18 games. In the opposite end, Numancia have conceded 30 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Numancia - Lugo 3-1, played this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Lugo victories, one draw and six Numancia wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
