Competition: Spain Segunda B - Group 3
Date: Sat 30.November
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Nova Creu Alta (15000 seats)

Sabadell perform at a high level so far being 3rd in the table. Ejea can look both up and down from their 13th position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Ejea's home stadium. The visitors last 35 games on grass have ended in 7 wins, 11 draws and 17 losses.

Sabadell form and stats

Sabadell are steadily winning Segunda B - Group 3 games and points here at Nova Creu Alta. 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games. Sabadell are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

The home team returns to Nova Creu Alta after sharing the points with Ebro (placed 14th) on their last time out; the Segunda B - Group 3 game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Sabadell won a home game hosting Gimnastic Tarragona (2-0).

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 Sabadell have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Sabadell are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Sabadell have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ejea form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ejea so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-4 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Suarez, the Ejea manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Two away games in a row for Ejea, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Gimnastic Tarragona in the Segunda B - Group 3. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Badalona.

We have checked recent matches where Ejea have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were W0-D2-L5.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Ejea, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Sabadell-Ejea H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: Sabadell 1 win, Ejea 1 win, 0 draws. 1 of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
