Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Monday’s football game between Ponferradina and Burgos will bring down the curtain on day 18 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. La Ponfe aim to escape the danger zone, but they face a difficult task against Burgos, who are enjoying a season to remember. To make things even worse for the home side, defensive duo Alexandru Pascanu – Adrian Dieguez is banned for the match.
Julian Calero’s men, on the other hand, aim to climb to automatic promotion places. Burgos should continue to rely on their rock-solid defence, and we predict that they will seal the triumph on the break. As for the visiting team, both Miki Munoz and Aitor Cordoba miss out through suspensions, while Unai Elgezabal has yet to recover from an ankle problem. Javi Perez is a major doubt, as well as Grego Sierra.
