Burgos vs Eldense prediction: Spain's Segunda is gathering pace
Eldense
Burgos head into the clash at El Plantío in high spirits: after six rounds, Sergio Francisco's side have collected 11 points and sit fifth in the table. Their latest victory was particularly impressive — a 2-1 win over Las Palmas. Burgos once again turned the game around after conceding first: Álex Forés equalized, before David González scored the winner deep into stoppage time. It seems this team's fighting spirit is becoming one of the defining features of the season.

Eldense find themselves in a more difficult situation. After six matches, the team have just five points and sit 17th. Their victory over Sporting in Gijón offered hope of a revival, but in the sixth round they suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Eibar. The visitors have scored just four goals, so new head coach Javi Calleja's main task is obvious — he must add more cutting edge in attack. The coach took charge of Eldense just before the previous round and signed a contract through 2028.
The hosts also have a personnel issue to deal with. Burgos will be without Kevin Appin, who has joined up with the Martinique national team, as well as goalkeeper Bruno Iribarne, who has been called up to Spain's youth side. Both players will miss the club's upcoming matches.
The head-to-head record is also quite intriguing. In the previous five competitive meetings, Eldense have won three times, Burgos once, while one match ended in a draw. However, the last meeting at El Plantío, in December 2024, ended in a 1-0 victory for the hosts.
Overall, we are in for a clash between teams who have made completely different starts to the season. Burgos have already established themselves in the upper half of the table and will be keen to extend their winning run at home. Eldense, meanwhile, must show that Calleja's arrival can quickly turn their fortunes around. The match will take place on September 27 at 18:30 Spanish time at El Plantío.
My prediction: both teams to score — yes.
