When Ponferradina hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Real Zaragoza, Ponferradina, UD Ibiza, Lugo, Racing Santander, Real Oviedo and Málaga), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

Vallejo was the last player to score a league goal for Ponferradina and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Ponferradina haven't scored in 204 minutes. Ponferradina are confident in defense, having played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

An away draw last time out for Ponferradina, facing Lugo in a game that ended 0-0. Goalkeeper Abedzadeh got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.04 out of ten. Abedzadeh topped it up with a clean sheet.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Mirandés.

It should be noted that a look at the 12 latest league games shows that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ponferradina here at Estadio El Toralín in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (14 from 17 games).

Leganés form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Leganés so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-9 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Leganés who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Mirandés was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Leganés might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. FC Cartagena proved too strong as Leganés slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Municipal de Butarque. Midfield player Arnáiz was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.25/10. Arnáiz scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that match, the Leganés manager Barkaiztegui faced defeat when travelling to Málaga and losing 0-2.

Take note: 8 of the latest 10 league matches involving this team have seen only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Leganés as they have only managed to score 9 times from 16 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Leganés have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Leganés have not lost in the last 4 fixtures (2-2-0) against Ponferradina.

It's not the first time these parties meet this season, as the statistics show this recent fixture: Leganés - Ponferradina 2-1.
