Prediction: 1-1
Oviedo
Estadio El Toralin will host Saturday’s football game between Ponferradina and Real Oviedo, the two relegation-threatened teams. Ponferradina have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and they are surely capable of matching los Azules on home soil. Fit-again Belgium international Jordan Lukaku is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the Copa del Rey loss to Guadalajara.
Ten-man Oviedo, on the other hand, did remarkably well to beat Granada on Matchday 15, with substitute Sergi Enrich scoring a late winner. The experienced forward is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while defender Daniel Aceves is banned for the match. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment.
