Real Oviedo vs. Ponferradina

A pair of below-average teams meet here, but plenty is at stake. Real Oviedo is ranked 17th in the 20-team Spanish Segunda Division and is looking to get out of the demotion danger zone. Key Defenders José Antonio Martínez Álvarez and Jorge Mier are banged up and doubtful to play, struggling with minor injuries. They are home for this one where they've outscored visitors 7-5 the last five games, including a pair of 1-1 draws with Málaga and Huesca. #11 Ponferradina is in town with nine wins, nine losses, and 13 draws. Ponferradina is six points behind for a playoff berth and is hungry to pick up any points. They've been outscored 4-2 over their last five contests. In the last three meetings between these rivals, each team has scored six goals, and this shapes up as a close, cautious clash. Play the DRAW in this one.
