Santa Coloma
- The hosts have won 6 of their last 10 games, with just 3 defeats and 1 draw and they're a big step up in class from anything Penybont have faced in recent years.
- Santa Coloma's recent home form in all competitions sees them win 3 from 4, with 1 loss, while they've scored 2.50 goals per-game and conceded just 0.75.
- Gomez has an organised team that sit in a two-bank and are proficient at keeping the ball and transitioning it.
Penybont
- Rhys Griffiths has overseen this Penybont team since 2016 and while they are organised, direct and have a decent tempo, the Welsh side have won 0 of their last 10 matches.
- Penybont have lost 8 of their last 10 in all competitions, with just 2 draws and 0 wins, and come into this with little more than their travelling fans and positive spirits.
- Their away form in all competitions is dismal - Penybont have lost all 5 of their away trips, scoring a measly 0.40 goals per-game and conceding 2.80.
Head-to-Head
Santa Coloma have won both of the previous two meetings, including the first match of this tie 2 days ago, and this should be a walkover for Albert Gomez's side.
Key Players
Guillaume Lopez is Santa Coloma's main threat, he has 1 goal in 1 appearance in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and will probably be the one that Penybont need to watch on Thursday.
