The home side currently occupies 12th place, having accumulated 38 points from 10 wins, 9 draws, and 12 losses.

In their last 10 home games in the league, they have taken 20 points from a possible 30, winning 6, drawing 2, and losing 2, including a streak of 4 consecutive home victories. While defensively they have struggled, conceding goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, their attack has been reliable, scoring in 9 of those games. Notably, they have conceded the first goal 13 times in 31 matches but have only managed to turn the match around twice. Their recent unbeaten run has been pivotal in boosting their chances of staying in the division, allowing them to approach this match with less pressure and the opportunity to express their best football.
