The first and only meeting between these two sides this season went in Ceuta’s favor, as they capitalized on home advantage to secure a narrow 1-0 victory earlier in the campaign.
Burgos team overview
Burgos head into their Matchday 33 encounter as one of the most formidable home sides in the Segunda Division, currently occupying fifth place in the standings following an emphatic 4-0 dismantling of Cordoba, a result that firmly underlined their ambitions for automatic promotion.
Under the astute guidance of Luis Miguel Ramis, Los Blanquinegros have turned Estadio El Plantio into a veritible fortress, boasting the best defensive record on home soil in the division, conceding a remarkable average of just 0.62 goals per game.
Having already accumulated 53 points, a victory on Wednesday would not only provide a significant psychological lift, but could also propel them closer to the automatic promotion spots, depending on results elsewhere.
Midfielder Sergio González remains a doubt ahead of the clash with Ceuta after being forced off late in the weekend fixture with a suspected injury, although Luengo is expected to step in and fill the void in the middle of the park if required.

Ceuta team overview
In contrast, AD Ceuta arrive at El Plantio as one of the division’s most unpredictable sides, currently occupying 9th place with a tally of 47 points and firmly focused on closing the four-point gap separating them from the promotion playoff positions.
Encouragingly, the North African outfit managed to halt a turbulent three-game losing streak by securing a hard-earned 2-1 home victory over relegation-threatened Cadiz at the weekend, a result that has reignited their push for a top-six finish.
While only Eibar and Malaga boast stronger home records, the Mackerels have struggled to translate that authority onto the road this season, having been beaten in nine of their 16 away outings and conceding an average of two goals per match on their travels.
Head coach Jose Juan Romero has an otherwise fit squad at his disposal ahead of this clash with in-form Burgos, although the availability of experienced duo Carlos Hernandez and Jose Campana remains uncertain after both were forced off in the second half last time out with minor injuries.

Prediction
Luis Ramis has drilled a Burgos CF side that thrives on defensive organisation, and their league-best home record of conceding just 0.62 goals per game suggests that the visitors' expansive approach could play right into the hosts' hands.
The Blanquinegros are experts at absorbing pressure before clinical playmaker Curro Sanchez exploits the spaces left behind, and against a Ceuta defense that has looked increasingly porous on their travels, we expect the hosts to dictate the rhythm of this contest.
Ultimately, the gulf in defensive discipline and Burgos's superior momentum in the promotion race should be the deciding factors, with the hosts likely to secure a professional clean-sheet victory to cement their top-six status.
Four Reasons we expect Burgos to Win
- Burgos are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four of them.
- Burgos have gone five consecutive second-tier games without conceding a goal.
- Ceuta have been outplayed in all but one of their last four league fixtures.
- Ceuta have stumbled to defeat in five of their last six Segunda Division away outings.
