After a week of Christmas vacation, football returns to the second division to start a year 2026 that will be full of emotion in the silver category of Spanish football. With this, the Cordoba CF He also participates in competitions again and … will do before his people; in The Archangel. Far from being a simple procedure, Iván’s team will compete next Saturday at 9:00 p.m. with the Burgosa tough team that has proven to be one of the best teams outside of their stronghold.
Luis Miguel Ramis, coach of the Burgos team, made the black and white team the team ranked eighth in the Second Division by collecting twenty-nine points. As well as being just one point out of the play-off zone, Burgos has been a regular in the promotion positions as he has been since the tenth to eighteenth day among the six best positions in the table.
Looking at the success of this event, the matches away from El Plantío were its main asset throughout the season. With nine matches played, the Castilians-Leonese have added sixteen points out of twenty-seven possible, an income that makes them the best third best visitor of the competition after achieving five wins, one draw and three defeats.
With just one more unit, Racing de Santander and Deportivo de la Coruña improve these figures with seventeen points. Although these figures for the entire season are positive in favor of the black and white, if we look at the latest results, Burgos presents himself as the best visitor in the last five matches winning four matches and losing only one.
Burgos defensive security
Although in El Plantío they demonstrated their greatest weaknesses, the Burgos team functions as perfectly calibrated watch when they play their matches. In the defensive line they have players with great experience, such as Aitor Córdoba and Grego Sierra, a tandem completed by a core supported by Kévin Appin, Iván Morante and Miguel Atienza.
This solid block allowed the inhabitants of Burgos to position themselves as the second team with fewest goals conceded so far this season, with just 18 goals conceded. Without a doubt, this fact represents an additional difficulty for Córdoba. While it is true that the green and white team were far superior to their rivals with the ball, the control of possession was lackluster with the lack of ideas in the last third of the field.
Even though the scenario is demanding, Burgos lands in El Arcángel in a delicate moment of the season. With just four points added in the last five games, Burgos’ team has become the second worst-performing team in the second division, a poor dynamic that combines with Córdoba’s need to triumph again as a local.
The victory against Ceuta awakened the better feelings in the Cordoba environment. Efficiency and good play They walked hand in hand in a performance that clearly outperformed a team of pimps (2-0) that arrived at El Arcángel as one of the fittest teams in the competition. However, this afternoon ended up becoming a mirage towards the end of the first part of the season.
Since this match played on November 2, Cordoba hasn’t won at home yet. During this two-month period they suffered two defeats and a draw at their stadium, a negative dynamic that, without a doubt, dampened the initial optimism. In this context, this duel against Burgos presents itself as a real trial by fire for the Cordobans, but it can also be a major morale boost if they manage to beat one of the best visitors in the Second Division.
