Ponferradina form and stats

Ponferradina have played 16 La Liga 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-8-1 (wins-draws-losses). The Ponferradina fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estadio El Toralín and will expect new points from this game. Ponferradina has played eleven games in a row here without a defeat.

Stress levels are on the rise for Ponferradina's attacking players as they have now played 253 minutes without scoring in a league game. Kaxe was their last goal scorer.

The home team returns to Estadio El Toralín after being equal after 90 minutes with Real Oviedo (placed 18th) on their last time out; the La Liga 2 game ended 0-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Tenerife (0-1).

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

The Ponferradina fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Ponferradina have conceded only 10 goals.

Elche delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Extremadura UD (placed 21st) in their previous match; a La Liga 2 game. Preceding that game was the away victory against Rayo Vallecano with the score of 3-2.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Girona in just four days.
