Atlético Astorga vs PortugaletePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Atlético Astorga and Portugalete begin the group stage with no competitive fixtures behind them this season, so the picture comes from pre-season and from what they did in the spring. Atlético Astorga worked through five August friendlies: 0-1 against Palencia CF, 2-1 against Salamanca UDS, 1-1 with Cultural Leonesa, 0-2 at La Bañeza and 2-2 with Deportivo La Coruña II. In two of those five Atlético Astorga failed to score. Portugalete showed up with a 2-0 friendly win over Barakaldo in mid-August. Before that, in their Tercera group, they had won 2-1 away at Deportivo Alavés III and 4-2 against Eibar III, while losing 1-2 at home to Aurrerá Vitoria and 1-4 at Añorga, plus a 1-1 at Leioa. No previous meetings between the two clubs are on record. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
