Barakaldo and Merida meet on Sunday, Jan 3 at 5:00 PM in the Primera Division RFEF – Group 1.

Barakaldo come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Merida, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Barakaldo and Merida have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Barakaldo won 2–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Barakaldo a slight edge, but Merida are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
