Form Guide & Team Overview

Ceuta

Ceuta’s recent form has been a mixed bag, with three draws in their last five matches. Their 2-2 draw against Real Zaragoza showed resilience, but the lack of a cutting edge in front of goal has been evident, especially in the goalless draw against Real Sociedad II. The team’s only win in this stretch came against Cádiz, which should give them a glimmer of confidence heading into this fixture.Ceuta’s recent form has been a mixed bag, with three draws in their last five matches.
