Starting with the hosts, making a much-welcomed return to winning ways over the weekend as they dragged themselves to a 2-1 victory away at Almeria, Burgos find themselves at the heart of a shock Segunda play-off scrap.

Starting with the hosts, while Valencia might have gained a string of immediate plaudits following Carlos Corberan's arrival at the Mestalla back in December, the Bats have largely struggled to find any real fluidity since opening up the new campaign.
