Arenas Getxo welcome Merida on Sunday, Oct 18 at 5:00 PM in a Primera Division RFEF – Group 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Arenas Getxo come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 1D 1L). Merida, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Arenas Getxo win or a draw looks most likely.
