This could be an interesting match as Novelda have their presumed home advantage while Villarreal III are ahead 8 points in the Tercera - Group 6 table.

It's no vacation for neither Novelda nor Villarreal III as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Villarreal III have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-5-10 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.
