Mirandés form and stats

With {2 La Liga 2 wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Mirandés are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Mirandés, their manager M. Escobar Rodríguez and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Mirandés shared the glory with Real Zaragoza in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. The hometeam coach M. Escobar Rodríguez made a successful contribution in the game against Real Zaragoza, bringing on Roger Brugué who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw. Sergio Carreira was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.65 out of 10. The defender Carreira hit three key passes and won 5 of 5 duels.

Ahead of that match, Mirandés lost 1-4 at home to Almeria.

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 Mirandés have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost three.

The manager M. Escobar Rodríguez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Real Valladolid in only three days.

The Mirandés fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 7 league matches. Mirandés are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 7 played).
