On Saturday afternoon, Ibiza hosts Burgos at the Estadio Can Misses in a big game at both ends of the Segunda table.
The Islanders now looked doomed to life in the third tier of Spanish football next season, as Ibiza is currently in 21st place in the table, 12 points adrift of safety.

Despite their lowly position in the Segunda table, the home team has lost just once in their last eight matches in the Spanish second tier. However, their problem has been too many draws of late, as they have drawn six of their previous eight games in the Segunda.
Ibiza is winless in their last six home games in the Segunda, although five of their last six home matches have ended in draws. Their recent home league matches have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous nine games in the Segunda.
While Ibiza is looking just to preserve its Segunda status, Burgos is looking to escape the Spanish second tier courtesy of promotion to La Liga. The visitors currently lie in seventh place in the table, five points shy of the promotion play-off spots.
A five-game winless run in the Segunda has done the visitors little favours when it comes to earning a play-off berth. A 0-0 draw against Sporting Gijon last time out means that they have also won just once in nine matches in the Spanish second tier.
Burgos’ recent away results have not helped their chances of sealing a top-six finish either, as they have won just one of their last seven league games on their travels. Their recent away games have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their previous seven matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Burgos will end their recent poor form by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter to further add to the home side's recent woes.
