Tercera - Group 10: A pair of sides who have played splendidly so far. Prepare for Xerez - Lucena with this thorough guide!

Insights:
  • Xerez have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Tercera - Group 10
  • Lucena have the most matches under the total-line (13) in Tercera - Group 10

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Lucena have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-6-14 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.

It's no vacation for neither Xerez nor Lucena as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Xerez form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio Municipal de Chapín as Xerez have scored 23 goals to get 29 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Tercera - Group 10 are 9-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Xerez bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Xerez last time playing, versus Lucena. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Ceuta II that finished 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Xerez have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won five, drawn zero and lost one.

A decent goal production from Xerez in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 12 league matches. Xerez have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals.
