UD Ibiza form and stats

UD Ibiza have played 15 La Liga 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-6-4 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here.

UD Ibiza shared the glory with Ponferradina in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Herrera (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.82/10. Herrera hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Huesca in a game that was won 2-1.

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

UD Ibiza are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 15 games. 18 goals have been conceded.
