UD Ibiza form and stats

UD Ibiza's struggle is real here at Estadio Municipal de Can Misses with only 14 points collected from 14 La Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-5-6. UD Ibiza have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Ibiza are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Deportivo Alavés. The first loss after going unbeaten in three league matches. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The striker Zenitagoia bested all the other players in that match and was awarded a match rating of 8.0 out of 10. Zenitagoia scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 6 of 7 times.

In the match before that, UD Ibiza hosted Ponferradina and drew the game 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ibiza have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 6 and lost 2.
