Mirandés are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

Mirandés enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Racing Santander's place. The match ended 2-1 with López and Barbu scoring. López has scored in three matches in a row. Skilful!

A 2-2 draw away before that, with Leganes the opponent.

Ponferradina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ponferradina so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose).

201 minutes! That's how long the Ponferradina goalkeeper Amir Abedzadeh and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Ponferradina had fun at their own home (Estadio Municipal de Anduva) last time out, beating Lugo 1-0. Naranjo scored. That victory felt sweet as this side had gone five league fixtures without winning. Ojeda got a match rating of 7.64 in that game, top player of the team. Ojeda served one assist, hit two key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total).

Before that, Ponferradina travelled to Levante and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

Ponferradina are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ponferradina as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Ponferradina's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
