Lugo form and stats

In the previous season, Lugo's league statistics were 11 wins, 14 draws and 17 losses, ending with 18th position in the La Liga 2. From these 42 matches they scored 38 goals and gave away 53. Performing at home in the last season Lugo generated 8-8-5 (win-draw-lost) with 20 goals and 16 conceded.

The home team returns to Estadio Anxo Carro after being equal after 90 minutes with Real Oviedo (placed 8th) on their last time out; the La Liga 2 game ended 2-2. Defender Juan Antonio Ros got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 6.83/10. Ros won 4 of 7 duels. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Real Oviedo as Joselu's goal in the 89th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. The hometeam coach R. Albés Yáñez made a successful contribution in the game against Real Oviedo, bringing on Joselu who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.

Before that match, a win away at Rayo Vallecano.

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 eight games. Lugo has won three of these, drawn two and lost three.

Real Sociedad II form and stats

Let's have a look at how Real Sociedad II performed last season in the Segunda B - Group 2: They landed a 12th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 9 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 47 and conceded 42 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 4 and lost 11 with 19/24 goals scored/conceded. The fact that Sociedad have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Sociedad are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the La Liga 2 against Leganes (placed 20th). Andoni Zubiaurre was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.83. The agile goalkeeper Zubiaurre stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Algeciras (after extra-time).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Real Sociedad II playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were seven Real Sociedad II wins, two draws and six defeats.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Lugo two wins, zero draws and Real Sociedad II zero victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
