Numancia are welcoming Ponferradina for another important game after their 2-3 result against 6th-placed Rayo Vallecano.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Numancia and Ponferradina.

Relegation threatens Numancia who should definitely be looking for some points here. Ponferradina are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Numancia form and stats

The story so far in the La Liga 2 for Numancia at their home stadium (Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos) is 9 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Numancia after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Numancia faced defeat in their previous match, away at Rayo Vallecano (2-3). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Extremadura UD in a game that was won 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Numancia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Numancia as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Numancia has won three of these, drawn five and lost four.

Numancia are traveling soon after this match as the La Liga 2 match at Huesca awaits in two days.

Numancia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 19 games. Numancia have only conceded 13 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ponferradina form and stats

Ponferradina have only collected 15 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 3-6-10 (19 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Ponferradina who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Racing Santander was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ponferradina are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Ponferradina aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 301 league minutes without a goal. Kaxe was the last player to find the net.

The manager J. Pérez Alonso was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga 2 match played at their home ground Estadio El Toralín. Ponferradina suffered a 0-1 loss to Lugo (placed 19th). Prior to that match, the Ponferradina manager J. Pérez Alonso faced defeat when travelling to Las Palmas and losing 0-3.

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 seven relevant matches. Results were one Ponferradina win, three draws and three defeats.

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

The visitors have scored 18 goals from 19 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Ponferradina have conceded 30 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Ponferradina - Numancia 1-1 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Numancia, two draws and three wins for Ponferradina. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
