It's advantage Mallorca so far with their 3rd position in the La Liga 2 table, welcoming Ponferradina who are placed 9th.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a La Liga 2 game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Alcorcón. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Ponferradina have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The home team returns to Iberostar Estadi after being equal after 90 minutes with Real Zaragoza (placed 19th) on their last time out; the La Liga 2 game ended 0-0. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Málaga.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Mallorca matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from three games).

The Mallorca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Mallorca have only let in 2 goals at home.

Ponferradina form and stats

As the visiting team in La Liga 2 matches, Ponferradina have produced an overall stat of 3-0-2 so far.

It's the second away game in a row for Ponferradina, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Alcorcón (placed 22nd) in the La Liga 2 last time out. A loss against Sabadell was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ponferradina playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, one draw and one home win.
