Our win probability analysis gives the draw a 45% chance, with Hercules CF at 30% and Real Jaen at 25%.

Team Form

Hercules CF come into this match with a mixed recent record. Their last five results show three wins followed by two defeats: a 1-0 away win at Aguilas FC on Sep 26, a 1-0 home victory over Juventud Torremolinos on Sep 20, and a 2-1 away success at CE Europa on Sep 12. However, they then lost 0-2 at home to Atletico Madrid B on Sep 6 and 1-2 at home to Real Murcia on Aug 29. This W-W-W-L-L pattern suggests a dip in form after a strong start. Over these five matches, Hercules CF scored 5 goals and conceded 5, indicating a balanced but not dominant side.

Real Jaen, on the other hand, have been more consistent. Their last five matches: a 0-2 away loss at Antequera CF on Sep 27, a 2-1 home win against UD Ibiza on Sep 19, a 1-0 away win at Teruel on Sep 12, a 2-2 home draw with Huesca on Sep 6, and a 3-0 away victory at CE Europa on Aug 30. That gives them three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five outings, indicating solid form. Real Jaen netted 8 goals and conceded 5 in this period, showing a slightly more potent attack than their hosts.

• Real Jaen win: 25%

The odds from bookmakers heavily favor the draw, with the best price for a stalemate as low as 2.00.
