Ponferradina vs Burgos Prediction

Burgos have promotion to the top flight in their sight, so a win here could take them into the top two depending on results elsewhere. The Blanquinegros are seeking promotion to La Liga for the first time. Their charge in fortunes has been inspired by a compact structure that has seen games involving them produce the fewest goals, with just 15 goals witnessed in 17 games.

Ponferradina, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency, and their poor campaign has seen them battling relegation for most of the season. That poor run could continue in a narrow defeat to Burgos.
