Ponferradina, Recent FormPonferradina will have been reasonably pleased with their 2-2 draw against Granada, not least because of the valuable point gained. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 10 of their 23 shots on goal.
Manager David Gallego will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 3 of their last 6 matches. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
A win for Ponferradina is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Alaves, Recent FormAlavés manager Luis García Plaza will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Lugo. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Lugo's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 3 games in a row.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Alavés, Luis Rioja will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Alavés produced a comfortable 3-1 victory.
Goals should be on the cards for Babazorros in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Ponfe in their last 9 meetings together.
Ponfe will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Alavés in the league.
Ponfe player Yuri de Souza will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Alavés, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
With no real injury worries, Ponfe manager David Gallego will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Alavés manager Luis García Plaza has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
