Match begins: 11:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadi Municipal de Badalona (4170 seats)

Badalona are welcoming Orihuela for another important game after their 3-1 result against Real Oviedo.

It's no vacation for neither Badalona nor Orihuela as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Orihuela have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 10-6-4 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
