Struggling Orihuela will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying La Nucia in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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.
Orihuela form and stats
Orihuela's results here at Los Arcos in the Segunda B - Group 3 have been very modest with 0 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Orihuela fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Tarazona game long ago, can be stopped today.
In their previous game, the manager Pato Grao led his Orihuela to a defeat in the Segunda B - Group 3 match away at Valencia II. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Los Arcos. Before that, Orihuela drew at home versus Castellon.
This is expected to be a close game, with Orihuela perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Orihuela as a small favourite), we find one game. Orihuela has won 0 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.
The Orihuela fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
La Nucia form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for La Nucia so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
La Nucia are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Segunda B - Group 3 against Hercules (placed 17th). Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Levante II's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with La Nucia playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 2 La Nucia wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
La Nucia find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 8 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. La Nucia have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Orihuela, 4 draws and 1 win for La Nucia. Over 2,5 goals: 1 time; under 2,5 goals: 7 games.Top Goalscorers
