Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: Acero sit 14th, SC Torrevieja lie 10th, but the Tercera División RFEF - Group 6 has a habit of defying such logic. Acero are mired in a difficult campaign, D over their last five and a paltry win rate of 0% painting a bleak picture. SC Torrevieja have travelled reasonably well, LW over their last five with a season win rate of 50%.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Acero and SC Torrevieja have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. After the loss, a lot of questions began to be raised about their different approach to preparing for the game.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi is another player of interest; however, his injury may have put even further difficulty in the way of any deal being concluded.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. Despite the home advantage enjoyed by Acero, the weight of evidence favours SC Torrevieja — a 1-2 away win is the call.
