Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Roda goalkeeper Alberto Diaz Ortiz is eager to challenge this, with his 342 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It's the second away game in a row for La Roda, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Almagro Spain (placed 7th) in the Tercera - Group 18 last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Almansa.

Piojo came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Almagro Spain last time out, making the manager S. Rubio García feel like a tactical genius.
