Venue: Sagnier El Prat (500 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Segunda B - Group 3, Prat holding 18th place and Gimnàstic Tarragona lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Prat and Gimnàstic Tarragona should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Gimnàstic Tarragona have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.

Prat form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Segunda B - Group 3 this season. Prat have only managed 0 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses from their games here at Sagnier El Prat. Prat are slowly digging their own grave here at Sagnier El Prat with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Portugalete match.

Prat are returning here after visiting Badalona in a Segunda B - Group 3 game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Espanyol II that was lost 0-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Prat perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Prat as a small favourite), we find five games. Prat has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 4.

Prat has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.

Gimnàstic Tarragona form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gimnàstic Tarragona so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Gimnàstic Tarragona's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The supporters enjoyed Gimnàstic Tarragona's previous game versus Ejea (placed 13th), a Segunda B - Group 3 2-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Gimnàstic Tarragona manager Toni Seligrat faced defeat when travelling to Sabadell and losing 0-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gimnàstic Tarragona playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 1 Gimnàstic Tarragona win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

Gimnàstic Tarragona are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Gimnàstic Tarragona have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
