Prediction: 0-1
Zaragoza
Estadio El Toralin will host Sunday’s football game between Ponferradina and Zaragoza, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. La Ponfe aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Real Oviedo, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Blanquillos. Since all Espiau Hernandez, Naranjo, and Arias Copete are banned for the match, we do not believe that home win should be considered.
To make things even worse for the hosts, six players have been tested positive for COVID-19. Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Since Zaragoza are eager to put an end to their three-match losing run, we are tempted to put our money on the away side. Argentine midfielder Valentin Vada is sidelined through suspension for the visitors.
