Igualada form and stats

Igualada have played three Tercera - Group 5 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Igualada are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Igualada, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Igualada here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). On the other hand, Igualada have conceded 4 goals.

Europa form and stats

The seven points Europa have gathered from their first three away trips in the Tercera - Group 5 is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

The supporters enjoyed Europa's previous game versus Castelldefels (placed 6th), a Tercera - Group 5 3-1 win played at home. Before that, Europa travelled to Terrassa and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

Europa are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Europa are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
