Ponferradina form and stats

Ponferradina have performed here at Estadio El Toralín this season with 5 wins from 9 La Liga 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1.

A strong away win for Ponferradina against Cacereno the last match, as Agus Medina and Kuki Zalazar were on target. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of J. Pérez Alonso when Agus Medina scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting UD Ibiza.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ponferradina have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won zero times, drawn four and lost two.

A decent goal production from Ponferradina in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 9 league matches. Ponferradina have only conceded 7 from their league home games.
