THE PREDICTION

So far this season, Ponferradina have been excellent. They have built upon last season’s mid-table and now look like a legitimate automatic promotion contender - not just a side pushing for the top six. They come up against an Espanyol side that have been very stubborn throughout their La Liga season so far. The Catalans were promoted last season and their solidity in defence means they now sit in the middle-of-the-table after half of the campaign. This could be a fairly even game which ends up being a low-scoring encounter.
