Igualada form and stats

Igualada's struggle is real here with only 7 points collected from 9 Tercera - Group 5 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-6. 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 home team returns after sharing the points with Cerdanyola del Valles (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Tercera - Group 5 game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Figueres (3-6).

Igualada are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Igualada with 18 goals conceded in these matches.

Sants form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sants so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-8 (win-draw-lose).

The Sants goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 204 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Sants are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Tercera - Group 5 against Pobla Mafumet (placed 7th). Prior to that result Sants won their away game at Reus Deportiu. The scoreline was 3-0.

As mentioned above, Sants was the only team on the pitch versus Pobla Mafumet in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

The attacking power of Sants when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Sants have conceded 22 goals in these games.
