Competition: Spain Segunda B - Group 3
Date: Sat 04.January
Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Jose Rico Perez (29584 seats)

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 18th and the visitors in 15th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Ejea have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-11-18 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.
