Ponferradina take on the visitors Villarreal B in the round 22 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Friday, January 6th at Estadio El Toralín (Ponferrada).
Ponferradina have seriously slowed down this season. La Deportiva celebrated its 100th anniversary last year. We can say that for this anniversary they were able to achieve a high indicator, as for this modest team, - they finished in the 8th final position. But after that there was a serious rollback, by 10 places at once. Already 21 matches played, and in them only 5 victories and 21 points. And recently there were good results: 0-0 on the Levante field, 1-0 at home with Lugo. But 2022 ended with a new defeat – this time from Mirandes, having already conceded twice by the 20th minute.

Villarreal B has a specific motivation. "Mini Submarines" is a classic "double", a team that simply by virtue of the regulations cannot rise higher: the "mother" team plays in the "elite". So at the moment, in terms of the division, the team is playing at the maximum level. Despite the objectively low tournament motivation and the status of a beginner, the results of Villarreal B are quite worthy. By January, they approached with complete equality: 7 wins, draws and defeats. Moreover, since October, the cycles of such results have been repeated, albeit in different combinations. True, before the New Year they lost - at home, to Las Palmas, without answering the only goal of Cardona, scored in the middle of the 1st half.
Before this season, the clubs only crossed paths in the 2010/2011 season - and then Villarreal B won in both matches. And in October there was a 2-2 draw on the Mini Submarine field. Ponferradina will try to win at home, but Villarreal B also has a good result. So let's settle for a neutral offer with "over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
