Competition: Spain Tercera - Group 1
Date: Sun 26.January
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Arzúa are in the 8th position while the guesting As Pontes worry at 15th.

Arzúa and As Pontes 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.

Arzúa form and stats

Arzúa have played 9 Tercera - Group 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Arzúa after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Happy days for Arzúa in their previous game, a Tercera - Group 1 match away at Estradense (placed 10th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Nobody expected Arzúa to beat Estradense in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Heartbreak before that as Arzúa lost 0-1 at UD Ourense's place.

Arzúa have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 17 goals in 9 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

As Pontes form and stats

There's been little loot from As Pontes's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Tercera - Group 1. As Pontes only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.

The As Pontes goalkeeper Javier Liz Arias is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 216 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed As Pontes's previous game versus Villalbés (placed 9th), a Tercera - Group 1 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Silva.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting As Pontes as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. In the opposite end, As Pontes have conceded 16 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; As Pontes - Arzúa 2-3.
