Ponferradina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ponferradina so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ponferradina's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Home advantage was not enough for Ponferradina in their previous game as they lost hosting Burgos, 1-2. Midfielder Vallejo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.43. Vallejo scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 21 successful passes (of 26 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Malaga's place.

A new game in only three days for Ponferradina, the La Liga 2 home match versus Lugo. Busy days.

Ponferradina struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games. Ponferradina has visited these top teams three times, and 2 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!
