Cordoba
- Cordoba have won 6, drawn 3 and lost 4 of their 13 home matches in LaLiga 2.
- Ivan Ania’s men sit seventh in LaLiga 2 with 41 points from 27 games, maintaining a consistent but unspectacular position in the playoff positions.
- Cordoba have won back-to-back home games coming into this but enter this encounter off the back of successive defeats away from home, losing 3-2 at AD Ceuta FC just one day ago.
- The hosts play an identity system with a clear possession focus, verticality and tempo change, central control and high intensity press.
Andorra
- Andorra have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 7 of their 14 away matches in the second tier.
- They currently sit 17th in the LaLiga 2 table, with 32 points from 27 matches.
- The Catalans tend to play in a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2, preferring to build from the back with width and overloads as well as progressive full-backs.
- Jastin Garcia has hit form recently, scoring 2 in his last 5, and is a big player for the visitors, who rely on Daniel Villahermosa for their main goal threat, the veteran marksman having notched 6 times in 27 second-tier games this term.
Head-to-Head
FC Andorra will arrive with a psychological advantage having beaten Cordoba 3-1 at home in the reverse fixture five months ago, but this is a very different fixture.
Key Players
- Cristian Carracedo has been the star of the show in recent weeks, providing 3 assists and 10 goals in the last 5 games, a key spark that could light up Monday’s game against FC Andorra.
- They deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation with Carracedo playing as the No.10 behind the striker, who is often Adrian Fuentes this season.
- Jastin Garcia has hit form recently, scoring 2 in his last 5.
- Daniel Villahermosa is the veteran marksman for the visitors, having notched 6 times in 27 second-tier games this term.
Betting Insights
- Cordoba will play at a higher tempo and their pressing and tempo changes can disrupt FC Andorra’s patient build-up.
- Cordoba are the favourites at 1.7 for a reason, while FC Andorra are well out of form at 4.55.
- Both have the attacking quality to score, as both have done in their home and away games respectively, FC Andorra averaging 1.14 goals per game on the road, scoring 16 away goals in total.
- Cordoba have conceded 15 times in 13 home games.
Prediction
We like Cordoba to edge this one, particularly given their better home form and firepower.
