Mirandés perform at a high level so far being 6th in the table. Ponferradina can look both up and down from their 10th position.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the La Liga 2. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Huesca.

Mirandés form and stats

Mirandés have collected 28 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 6-10-1. In general it's been a long time since Mirandés tasted defeat here at Estadio Municipal de Anduva, as they have taken at least one point from their last 16 home games in the league.

A good away victory last time out for Mirandés, who won 2-1 against Huesca (placed 4th). Ahead of that match, Mirandés won a home game hosting Numancia (2-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mirandés have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won two, drawn five and lost zero.

The manager A. Iraola Sagarna will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tenerife in only three days.

Mirandés are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 17 games. From these home matches, Mirandés have conceded only 13 goals.

Ponferradina form and stats

There's been little loot from Ponferradina's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 16 away games in the La Liga 2. Ponferradina only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 6 draws.

Ponferradina are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the La Liga 2 against Elche (placed 8th). A 0-0 draw at Real Oviedo's stadium before that.

Pablo Valcarce came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Elche last time out, making the manager J. Pérez Alonso feel like a tactical genius.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ponferradina playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Ponferradina win, three draws and two defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Ponferradina are hosting Racing Santander in the La Liga 2 only three days away.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Ponferradina struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 24 goals conceded from these games.
