In December, Ponferradina played four matches in two tournaments, in the Spanish Cup a home win over Castellon, in the Primera Division RFEF victories over Jimniastic, Lugo and Tarazona. Ponferradina are in 3rd place in the division standings with 30 points after the 18th round played, and with 6 points less than Leonesa, the leading team in the championship. Ponferradina have the 7th best home stats in the division, +5=2-2-2, 16:9 goal difference.

Real Sociedad played nine matches after the November international break, in the Primera Division they defeated Atletico and Celta, won 2:0 over Betis and Leganes 3:0 and drew 0:0 against Las Palmas. In the Europa League confident home victories over Dutch Ajax 2:0 and Kyiv Dynamo 3:0, in the Spanish Cup two victories over Hove and Concense. Before the start of the match, the Basques are in 7th place in La Liga with 25 points and are out of the European Cup competition. Real Sociedad has the 7th best away statistics in the division, +4=2-3, 7:4 goal difference. 

Real Sociedad are not having an even season, but the Basques are a fairly low-ranked team with a strong defence, so we don't expect a high performance from the match, especially as the upcoming match will be an away game for RS. As for the outcome, we are on the side of the guests, the pitch factor, of course, matters, but no less than the class of the team, which in this pairing is on the side of the Basques.
