Cadiz CF vs Ponferradina PREVIEW & PREDICTION 18/08/2019

Without a doubt, the process of the match will be even and intense throughout the 90 minutes of play. However, if we consider that the “yellow” box usually improves its level in the Ramón de Carranza. Remember that the visit is a newly promoted who will gradually seek to adapt to the category. Considering this, it is logical that he has problems to score, not ruling out losing the game or at least half of it.

Cádiz :

The “yellow” team failed to advance to the first division and stayed very close to the playoffs last season. He always competed, but when he had to win he tied or lost. Therefore, he stayed one step away from fighting to return to the Santander League. Its objective is to be more effective in attack, since it is characterized by being cohesive and solid between the lines. As a local he has always been strong, standing out for planting himself very well in each match played at Ramón de Carranza.

Now he will try to take advantage of the field factor to overcome an opponent who will surely defend in a sustained and gradual way from the initial whistle. At the moment he has played several friendlies that have allowed him to strengthen his proposal for his debut in the League2. It comes to equal 1-1 against Linense, to equal 0-0 with Cádiz, to overcome Sanluqueño 0-1, to beat Al Rayyan 1-0 and to face Malaga last weekend (1-0 win).

On this occasion Cádiz is expected to take advantage of his collective order to gain an advantage and keep it until the end of the game.

Ponferradina:

The team returned to the second Spanish division after spending time in the Second Division B. It achieved the desired ascent and demonstrated that it can be competitive despite its football limitations. Now he will seek to adapt as soon as possible to League2, since the pace of the game is totally different.

Most likely, he has problems in the first matches of the competition, being able to lose some or give up several goals against. So far he has played some friendly preparation that has served to release his legs after a demanding preseason. It comes from beating Racing Ferrol 1-2, falling 1-0 with Deportivo, matching 2-2 against Barco and drawing 1-1 with Lugo.

In this exit it is expected that Ponferradina be careful in defensive matters, since he is just getting comfortable in the competition. Therefore, we hope that he does not attack so much and that he tries to reap a tight marker like the ones he has achieved in recent weeks.

The last confrontation between Cádiz and Ponferradina in the Ramón de Carranza took place in December 2006 by the Liga Adelante. That day they equaled 0-0.


PREDICTION: Cadiz CF to win @ 1,65
