SD Amorebieta come into the game knowing their fate is sealed and they will be relegated this season. They are 5 points adrift of safety with only 1 game to play and come into this match on the back of a hugely disappointing 5-0 loss at FC Cartagena.
With the score 2-0 at half time, FC Cartagena helped themselves to 3 more goals in the second half.
SD Amorebieta tried their best to escape the drop but 4 defeats in their 7 most recent games means they cannot escape the relegation zone.
However, they have won 3 of their last 6 Segunda Division games, with the wins coming over Mirandes, Fuenlabrada, and Huesca at home.
Recent home form has been good for SD Amorebieta and they are undefeated in their last 5 league fixtures at Instalaciones de Lezama Campo.
SD Amorebieta have won each of their last 4 home Segunda Division games and are undefeated in 10 of their last 12 on home soil.
SD Ponferradina make the trip to Instalaciones de Lezama Campo knowing they cannot qualify for the playoffs this season but can finish as high as 7th with a win and other results going their way. Things could have been different if they had won their previous 2 fixtures but they both ended in defeat.
SD Ponferradina lost 3-0 at home to Leganes last week and prior to that defeat, there was a 2-0 loss at Real Valladolid.
Away form in the league shows SD Ponferradina have won only 1 of their last 6 away trips and they have lost 3 of their last 4 on the road. The defeats have come at Mirandes, Almeria, and Real Valladolid.
Aside from the win at Fuenlabrada at relegated Fuenlabrada, SD Ponferradina have been struggling to score goals in away games and failed to find the back of the net in 3 of their last 5 away trips.
Team news and SD Amorebieta are expected to be without the injured duo of Roberto Santamaria and Mikel Alvaro.
SD Ponferradina have just the one injury concern and Kike Saverio is not expected to play any part in the game due to an Achilles tendon problem.
Neither team have anything to play for in the match but will want to end the season on a high. SD Ponferradina do not have a strong recent away record but their most recent victory on the road came against a team who have been relegated.
Therefore, we expect to see SD Ponferradina come out on top in this one by a narrow margin, with 1-0 being a potential correct score.
