Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Sodupe in 12th and Balmaseda in 7th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This pitch has grass, which is not Balmaseda's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Balmaseda have performed like this: Played 28 matches resulting in 10 wins, 7 draws and 11 defeats with the goal stats 29-35 (scored/conceded).
Sodupe form and stats
The story so far in the Tercera - Group 4 for Sodupe at their home stadium (Campo Lorenzo Hurtado de Saratxo) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

A good away victory last time out for Sodupe, who won 1-0 against Urduliz (placed 18th). Before that, Sodupe drew at home versus Basconia.
