An important duel in the bottom section of the Segunda B - Group 2, with both Leioa and Portugalete experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 9th place.
- Leioa has the fewest scored goals (7) in Segunda B - Group 2
- Portugalete has the most dropped points from leading position (7) in Segunda B - Group 2
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Leioa's stadium, Estadio Sarriena, has a artifical turf surface. Portugalete have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Portugalete when playing on artifical turf; 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses from ten matches. They have scored 19 goals in these games and conceded 9.
Leioa form and stats
Leioa, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Segunda B - Group 2, have collected 7 points from their Segunda B - Group 2 home games so far after 1-4-1. Three draws in a row here at Estadio Sarriena for Leioa, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
Stress levels are on the rise for Leioa's attacking players as they have now played 223 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Dios was their last goal scorer.
In their previous game, the manager I. Bilbao Zubero led his Leioa to a defeat in the Segunda B - Group 2 match away at Racing Santander. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Sarriena. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Real Unión (0-5).
This is expected to be a close game, with Leioa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leioa as a small favourite), we find eight games. Leioa has won four of these, drawn one and lost three.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Segunda B - Group 2 game versus Arenas de Getxo in only four days. This game is also played here at Estadio Sarriena.
The Leioa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Leioa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Portugalete played 0-0 against Deportivo Alaves II in their previous match. Prior to that match, the Portugalete manager A. Santana Calvo faced defeat when travelling to Athletic Club II and losing 0-2.
