Shaky top table thriller in Tercera - Group 6 as Orihuela have travelled the 124 miles needed to challenge Roda at their Ciudad Deportiva Pamesa Cerámica.

Insights:
  • Roda have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Orihuela have the fewest conceded goals (6) away in Tercera - Group 6

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Orihuela have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-6-7 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.

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.
