The history of recent direct confrontations between these two teams indicates total balance, since there was 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 matches. In this game the home factor may be decisive, since the Numancia presents considerable differences in their results at home and as a visitor.

In the matches played in their stadium there are some frequent results: at halftime 0-0 (6 in 11 matches) and at the end of the match 1-0 (5 in 11 matches). Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 8 of their 18 goals between minutes (76′-90 ‘).

The aim of the Numancia is to make a good campaign and until now is involved in the struggle for promotion. To keep that dream alive, you must achieve a positive result before your fans. Against Reus must have a balanced game, as such, must be fairly concentrated during the 90 minutes of play, because any error can lead to a goal of the visiting team and that can define the final result of the game. For this match coach Jagoba Arrasate will not be able to count on Adrián Ripa and Luis Valcarce, who are injured.

Reus Deportiu:

After 6 wins, 12 draws and 6 losses, the away team is currently in the 14 th position of the league, with 30 points won. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Gimnàstic Tarragona, by (1-2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Real Oviedo, by (0-0). This is a team that usually shows similar results, at home and abroad, so it is not usually affected by the home team factor, as in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 9 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. For the championship, Reus Deportiu won 12 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent final result at halftime was 1-0 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency has not been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 5 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 24 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 10 times and never got the comeback.

The lack of regularity of the Reus has made the team rise and fall in the qualifying table constantly, so it is important that the team achieve a good sequence of results, to at least ensure the maintenance in the Liga Adelante next season. Playing away from home is always more complicated and if we take into account that your opponent intends to go up to the first division, things can be even more complicated, so if you achieve a draw you can already be considered a positive result. For this match coach Aritz López Garai will not be able to count on Jorge Miramón and Ricardo Vaz, who are injured.
