Cordoba vs Ponferradina Betting Tips; Cordoba to Win / Under 2.5 Goals 

Cordoba holds a slim 1-0 advantage as they host Ponferradina in the second leg of the Primera División RFEF Promotion Playoff semi-final. The first leg saw Cordoba secure a crucial 1:0 road victory, putting them in the driving seat ahead of this weekend's return contest.

Iván Ania´s side have been in excellent form recently, winning five of their last seven matches with clean sheets kept in all five victories. Their home form has been particularly impressive, with eight wins and just one loss in their last ten at the Estadio Nuevo Arcángel.

Cordoba´s defensive strength has been a key factor in their recent success, conceding just two goals in their last ten home fixtures. Los Califas have kept clean sheets in six of their last seven games on home soil. 

In contrast, Ponferradina have struggled to find their best form with defeat suffered in three of their last six matches, including last weekend's first leg defeat.

On the road, Juanfran´s side have proven an inconsistent bunch, with only three wins from their last ten away fixtures. Ponferradina have scored just two goals in their last six away matches. 

While Ponferradina must win, Cordoba's strong defense and home advantage make them well-deserved favourites to win on Sunday, and secure their place in the Promotion Playoff final. 

I'm backing the hosts to claim a narrow and likely low-scoring victory at the Estadio Nuevo Arcángel.
