There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Linares Deportivo leading Melilla CD by 36 points.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Linares Deportivo, who have the most clean sheets (11) in Tercera - Group 9, have been very solid at home in the Tercera - Group 9 so far, with 27 points collected from 10 matches (9-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. Linares Deportivo has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the El Ejido defeat 90 days ago. Linares Deportivo has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Municipal de Linarejos.
