Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)
Venue: Campo de Fútbol La Baluga (1500 seats)

With their 16 point advantage in the league table, Balmaseda fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Deusto.

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 Deusto 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 6-3-3 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.
