Castellón form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Nou Estadi Castalia as Castellón have scored 17 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Segunda B - Group 3 are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Castellón against Valencia II the last match, as Jamelli and Javi Serra were on target. Before that game, the home loss against Sabadell with the scoreline 0-1.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Ó. Cano Moreno when Javi Serra scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 90th minute.

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 Castellón have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 4 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.

The Castellón fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 10 league matches. Castellón have only conceded 7 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

La Nucia form and stats

La Nucia have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Segunda B - Group 3, after 2-2-7 (11 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in La Nucia's last three away games as they have all been lost.

La Nucia have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 222 minutes ago. Aguero was the goal scorer.

La Nucia's last game was the home draw against Lleida Esportiu (0-0). Prior to that match, the La Nucia manager C. Ferrando Giménez faced defeat when travelling to Cornellà and losing 0-1.

La Nucia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of four matches.

The attacking power of La Nucia when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 11 league matches away. La Nucia have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
