Venue: Municipal de La Linea

Linense will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 5 points behind Córdoba.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Córdoba 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 0-1-0 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
