An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 18th place.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Copa Del Rey match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Olot, was also a home game here at Nou Estadi Municipal. The away team is better rested.
