Linense welcome Marbella for another interesting Segunda B - Group 4 fixture here at Estadio Municipal de La Línea de la Concepción.

Insights:
  • Linense have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Marbella have yet to win a game away.

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 artifical turf and that the visiting Marbella have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-2-0 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
