LaLiga Hypermotion (Segunda División) –Matchday 20

Date: Saturday, January 3, 2026

Kick-off: 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET)

Venue: Estadio Nuevo Arcángel, Córdoba

Cordoba vs Burgos Prediction

A tight mid-table battle in LaLiga Hypermotion. Córdoba (11th, 26 points from 19 games) host Burgos (8th, 29 points), just three points separating them as both chase a playoff push. Córdoba are unbeaten in their last three (W1 D2), including a gritty 2-1 away win at Mirandés. Burgos remain strong away (4 wins in last 5 road games) but drew 1-1 at home to Zaragoza last time out. Head-to-head: Burgos hold the edge recently (1 win, 1 draw), with their last meeting a thrilling 3-2 Burgos victory in May 2025.

Team News

Córdoba CF (Manager: Iván Ania) Minimal fresh concerns ahead of the match:

Out: Teo Zidane (midfield), Carlos Isaac (defender), Rubén González (defender), Franck Fomeyem (defender), Kevin Villodres (forward) – all sidelined with ongoing issues.
No major suspensions reported. Córdoba have a settled squad with no new injuries from the festive period. Key attackers like Adrián Fuentes and Jacobo González are fit and expected to lead the line.

Burgos CF (Manager: Luis Ramis) Injury issues persist but core players available:

Out: Sergio González (muscle injury), Mateo Mejía (ankle sprain).
Doubtful: Kevin Appin (wound/ligament issue – not a regular starter).
No suspensions. Burgos’ away form relies on defensive solidity; Florian Miguel and Grego Sierra expected to anchor the backline.

Predicted Lineups

Córdoba CF (4-3-3): Álvarez; Albarrán, Martín, Sintes, Alcedo; Ruiz, Requena, de Almeida; Carracedo, Fuentes, González.

Key: Cristian Carracedo provides creativity on the right; Adrián Fuentes (top scorer) leads the attack.

Burgos CF (4-4-2): Cantero; Lizancos, Córdoba, Sierra, Miguel; González, Expósito, Morante, Iñigo Córdoba; Niño, Curro.

Key: Fer Niño and Curro form a dangerous forward duo; Iván Morante controls midfield.

Our Prediction

This looks like a closely contested, low-scoring affair. Córdoba have home advantage and recent momentum, but Burgos boast the league’s strongest away record and a solid defensive setup (fewest goals conceded away). Recent H2H games have been open with goals, but both sides prioritize clean sheets lately. Expect a cagey draw with limited chances.

Predicted score: Córdoba CF 1-1 Burgos CF
