Prediction: 1-1
Ponferradina
Zaragoza and Ponferradina, the two relegation-threatened teams, face each other at Estadio La Romareda in what is expected to be an interesting La Liga 2 game. Los Blanquillos aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Sporting Gijon, and they are surely capable of matching La Ponfe in front of home fans. However, home win should not be considered as all Tomas Alarcon, Carlos Nieto, Jair Amador, and Valentin Vada are banned for the match.
Meanwhile, the visitors failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Eibar at the weekend, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. Ponferradina are not regarded as good travellers, but given the number of absentees in the home team, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the match. Forward Edu Espiau is banned for the match, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
