Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Ibiza and Ponferradina square off against each other at Estadi Municipal de Can Misses in what is expected to be a close La Liga2 encounter. Ibiza did well to hold Huesca to a goalless draw in their last league match, with the team remaining in the middle of the standings. The newcomers aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, but beating the 4th-place La Ponfe is easier said than done.
Ponferradina, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Sporting Gijon. Bolo’s troops impressed in the last league match, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Ibiza. However, beating Juan Carlos Carcedo’s troops on the island is easier said than done; therefore, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Experienced attacker Sergio Enrich will be the man to watch in the away team.
