Ponferradina form and stats

The story so far in the La Liga 2 for Ponferradina at their home stadium (Estadio El Toralín) is 8 wins, 9 draws and 1 defeat. In general it's been a long time since Ponferradina tasted defeat here at Estadio El Toralín, as they have taken at least one point from their last 13 home games in the league.

Ponferradina lost their last game at Deportivo La Coruna (placed 16th) after a 1-2 scoreline. In the match before that, Ponferradina hosted Racing Santander and drew the game 1-1.

The defeat against Deportivo La Coruna was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored five minutes into stoppage time (by E. Colak).

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 eight games. Ponferradina has won five of these, drawn three and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ponferradina as they are travelling to their away game against Las Palmas in the La Liga 2. That match is four days after this one.

The Ponferradina fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 24 in 18 matches. Ponferradina have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Fuenlabrada form and stats

The visitors are W4-D7-L7 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga 2. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Fuenlabrada have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Las Palmas game.

Fuenlabrada's last game was the home draw against Extremadura UD (1-1). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Real Oviedo that ended 0-0.

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

A new game in only three days for Fuenlabrada, the La Liga 2 home match versus Mirandés. Busy days.
