Ponferradina can’t be favorite here.

Ponferradina is having a very poor season. The coach is very questioned and under a lot of pressure, because he is very close to being fired due to poor results. The decision to keep him on the bench is worse for the team, but won’t improve with him.

Even the sports director this week said that “nobody is performing according to the expectatives”, and there are a lot of rumours that very soon the coach will be fired, which is a logical and needed decision.

They are coming from a defeat against Leganes, followed by a defeat in the Spanish Cup by an amateur team. They achieved just 4 victories so far: two in the first two rounds of the league and then, just two more in 13 matches. These came against Huesca (1:0) from penalty and Albacete (0:1) scoring at 92’ when hosts were playing with 10 players due to a red card at 70’. So as you can see, both victories were lucky.

They will miss three starters: Amir - who is with Qatar national team -, Amo and Erik Moran (both suspended). Ponferradina has also the worst defense of the league with 23 goals conceded in 15 games.

On the other hand, Oviedo did what Ponferradina has to do: change the coach. The new one Cervera has a lot of experience in La Liga with Cadiz and top teams in 2nd division, and the performance of the team improved a lot with him.

WIth Cervera achieved a victory against Malaga, followed by an unlucky defeat 2:1 against Alaves (top team in the league, scored at 99’ from penalty), then another unlucky defeat against Villarreal 2:1 (from penalty at 92’) and then an important victory 1:0 against top team Granada, which gave them a lot of confidence and morale.

The team is clearly in better shape with him, playing better and surely will go up in the table. Just the opposite as Ponferradina, who needs a change on the bench to improve.

Furthermore, Oviedo recovers some key players (Borja Sanchez, Pomares, Enrich..) who were injured (they had an injury crisis in the last few weeks with many important players out.

This is a clearly 50-50 game on paper where Oviedo looks better, more motivated and in better shape thanks to the new coach.

Ponferradina这个赛季表现很差。教练受到了很大的质疑和压力，因为他很可能因为糟糕的成绩而被解雇。让他坐在替补席上的决定对球队来说更糟糕，但不会随着他而进步。

就连体育总监本周也表示，“没有人的表现符合预期”，而且有很多传言说，教练很快就会被解雇，这是一个合乎逻辑且必要的决定。

他们刚刚在与莱加内斯的比赛中失利，随后又在西班牙杯上被一支业余球队击败。到目前为止，他们只取得了4场胜利:联赛前两轮的两场胜利，然后在13场比赛中又取得了两场胜利。这是对韦斯卡(1:0)的点球和阿尔巴塞特(0:1)在92时的进球，当时东道主有10名球员，因为在70时吃到一张红牌。如你所见，两次胜利都是幸运的。

他们将失去三名首发:效力于卡塔尔国家队的阿米尔，阿莫和埃里克·莫兰(两人都被停赛)。Ponferradina的防守也是联赛最差的，15场比赛丢了23球。

另一方面，奥维耶多做了庞费拉迪纳必须做的事:换教练。新教练塞尔维拉在西甲加的斯和乙级顶级球队有很多经验，球队的表现在他的带领下有了很大的进步。

塞尔维拉在战胜马拉加的比赛中取得了胜利，随后不幸地2:1输给了阿拉维斯(联赛中排名第一的球队，在99分的时候点球破门)，然后又不幸地2:1输给了比利亚雷亚尔(92分的时候点球破门)，然后又以1:0的重要胜利击败了排名第一的球队格拉纳达，这给了他们很大的信心和士气。

有了他，球队的状态明显更好了，踢得更好了，肯定会在积分榜上上升。庞费拉迪纳恰恰相反，他需要在替补席上做出改变来提高自己。

此外，奥维耶多恢复了一些受伤的关键球员(博尔哈·桑切斯，波马雷斯，里奇…)(他们在过去几周遭遇了伤病危机，许多重要球员缺阵。)

这显然是一场五五开的比赛，在新教练的帮助下，奥维耶多看起来更好，更有动力，状态也更好。
