Córdoba remains in the Hypermotion League standings (it is out of relegation even with one game in hand) thanks to its good results at home. They add to their poor home numbers as the team only scored one point the round of 16 played as a visitor. One of the problems Iván Ania is facing this season is the team’s lack of efficiency. Multiple arrivals in the rival area thanks to the style promoted by Iván Ania, but little success in front of goal. Córdoba needs four shots on goal to score.
The lack of efficiency is a fact in the green and white team, which was also evident in the last match against the Olot of the King’s Cup. Córdoba is superior in juice and has the most dangerous chances, but fails to realize them. He made it through the playoffs. This is not the first time this has happened. Already during his debut in the championship, before Mirandés, The team blamed their lack of punch against a Burgos team who took advantage of the opportunities they had to win the match. It is this efficiency that Córdoba continues in the silver category this year.
As reflected in the data collected by LaLiga, Córdoba accumulates 56 shots on goal in 12 matches. They have one game less than the rest of the teams, since their duel against Almería on the last day was postponed by DANA. This data implies that Córdoba needs four shots on goal to be able to score since they currently have 14 goals in their locker. Additionally, in total, the team has fired 128 rounds so far in the competition. They are not one of the teams that shoot the least on goal, but they are behind in the efficiency rankings.
In terms of shots on goal, Córdoba is in the middle of the table. In the general classification, the team remains in the fifteenth position with 15 points in his locker. In terms of shots, Córdoba occupies the seventh position, ahead of other teams that come less close to the goal, but which occupy high positions in the ranking such as Real Oviedo (126), Real Sporting (118) or Castellón ( 119) with which it will be measured next Sunday in El Arcángel from 2:00 p.m. However, all of these teams make better use of their penalties than Córdoba.
Without going any further, Castellón, with 62 shots on goal, already has 20 goals. For this reason, it sits in the noble zone of the ranking, looking closely at the play-offs. There are also other teams like Mirandés, who Córdoba has already faced, who have 87 shots (40 on goal)with a record of 11 goals. However, they have been able to make the most of their goals as they currently sit in seventh place, level on points with the promotion play-offs. Córdoba is working on this task, to be able to materialize all its arrivals into goals that resolve the matches.
The offensive weight
The offensive weight (and that of the goal) in Córdoba rests on a few players, and not just on the attackers. The squad includes three players who have accumulated almost all the shots taken by the team during the first twelve days of the championship: Jacobo, Álex Sala and Antonio Casas. Between the three of them, they accumulate 56 total shots, almost half of what the team accumulates. The one who stands out the most is Jacobo, who accumulates a record of 25 shots, including 13 on target. But the lack of efficiency is there since the Madrid player only scored one goal. The one that served to equalize with Albacete at the Carlos Belmonte stadium.
Even Adri Lapeña has a little more efficiency since his six shots with Córdoba this season have been on target, and he also has a goal. For his part, Álex Sala has 16 shots (6 on goal) and zero goals so far. Ander Yoldi was a little more efficient, converting two of his 10 shots (6 on goal). A few goals which gave the team points. Then there is the case of Antonio Casas who is the current Pichichi of the team.
The Rambleño striker 15 shots this season and seven went between the three colors. He has five goals to date, so his average is one goal for every three shots. Despite fewer shots than his other teammates, he used his goals better even if the lack of efficiency continues to weigh on the rest of his teammates. His rival for the position, Obolskii has barely four shots (including one on goal).
