Ponferradina
Lugo play host to Ponferradina at their Estadio Anxo Carro on day 15 of the new Segunda Division campaign. Lugo continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and they are undefeated in the previous five home fixtures in the Spanish second tier. Joselu, who found the net in a 3-2 loss at Mirandes, is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
La Ponfe, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Huesca. Ponferradina have been playing some low-scoring games of late, and seeing that there have been under 2.5 goals in seven of Lugo’s last eight league fixtures, we are unlikely to see goals galore at Estadio Anxo Carro. The bad news for the visiting side is that important defender Jose Manuel Arias Copete misses the match through suspension.
