Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Burgos and Ponferradina square off against each other at Estadio El Plantio in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 encounter. Burgos aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and they are surely capable of beating the relegation-threatened visitors in front of home fans. Forward Campos Gaspar misses out with a hamstring problem, while midfielder Javi Perez is a major doubt.
La Ponfe, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Leganes, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. The visitors have been struggling in front of goal of late, and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from Saturday’s encounter. Kelechi Nwakali limped off with injury in the last league match, with Adrian Dieguez likely to step up. In the first half of the season Burgos defeated Ponferradina 2-1 at Estadio El Toralin.
