Venue: Campo de Futbol Municipal de Cornellá (1500 seats)

Cornellà and La Nucia have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Segunda B - Group 3.

La Nucia could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa Del Rey game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Mérida AD, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for La Nucia.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not La Nucia's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf La Nucia have performed like this: Played 19 matches resulting in 9 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 28-16 (scored/conceded).

Cornellà form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Campo de Futbol Municipal de Cornellá as Cornellà have scored 12 goals to get 20 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Segunda B - Group 3 are 6-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Hercules here at Campo de Futbol Municipal de Cornellá, Cornellà has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.

Cornellà's last game was hosting Valencia II (placed 14th) and winning 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Cornellà lost 1-3 at Castellon's place.

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 Cornellà have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

The Cornellà fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. Cornellà have only conceded 6 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 2-2-6 (10 played). La Nucia has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

La Nucia has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Mérida AD for a Copa Del Rey game that ended a draw (2-2). A 1-2 defeat away at Ebro before that.

An inspired comeback made the scores level in La Nucia's duel with Mérida AD. It looked bad at 1-3 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Titi found the equalizer. Drawing 2-2 against Mérida AD after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Ferrando needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

We have checked recent matches where La Nucia have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were W0-D0-L4.

La Nucia are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 10 games (in the league). 13 goals have been conceded by La Nucia in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: La Nucia - Cornellà 1-0.
