Real Oviedo come into the match on the back of a 0-0 draw against Fuenlabrada in the Segunda Division on the 19th of December. It was a disappointing result against a team currently in the relegation zone and means Real Oviedo have recorded just a single victory in their last 5 games in all competitions.
The win came at home against Alcorcon in the league and Real Oviedo have been difficult to beat in recent home league fixtures. They have won 3 of their last 4 home league games, with the additional wins coming against Malaga and Amorebieta.
Trends show Real Oviedo are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 home Segunda Division matches. They have won 6 of those 13 matches, with 6 ending in a draw.
Real Oviedo have little trouble when it comes to scoring goals at home but have been struggling to keep clean sheets in the Segunda Division. Both teams have scored in 5 of their last 6 home league fixtures.
SD Ponferradina make the trip to the Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere having previously been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Amorebieta. It was a match they were expected to win against a team battling against relegation but SD Ponferradina required an equaliser 10 minutes from time to take a point from the game.
That result means SD Ponferradina are undefeated in their last 7 fixtures in all competitions including their last 5 in the Segunda Division. SD Ponferradina have won 3 of their last 5 league games, beating Sporting Gijon and Mirandes at home plus Ibiza away. However, they have been held in their last 2 league matches.
Away form in the league shows SD Ponferradina have been tough to beat of late and they are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 on the road. They have won 3 of their last 5 away trips but were held in their most recent away league match at Leganes.
Team news and Real Oviedo continue without the injured duo of Matheus Aias and Javi Mier.
SD Ponferradina have three players on the treatment table, with José Manuel Naranjo, Adrián Castellano Cobacho, and Jose Antonio Ríos all set to miss out.
This has the makings of being an extremely competitive game and we expect to see both teams find the back of the net. However, it is difficult to split them and this match could easily end level, with 1-1 a potential final score.
