Sporting Gijon, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 away win over Ibiza in their last league game, Sporting Gijón will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Ibiza, who had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They are showing great consistency at The Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. When playing at home this season, Sporting Gijón has notched up a tally of 7 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have had a good run of form at The Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Aitor García will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sporting Gijón.
Alaves, Recent FormAlavés manager Luis García Plaza will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against FC Andorra. They achieved 28% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against FC Andorra's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
García Plaza will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 2 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Alavés away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
On an individual basis, Luis Rioja will be looking to cause Sporting Gijón some problems having scored 2 goals in Alavés' last 6 away games in the league.
Sporting Gijón will be feeling reasonably buoyed up after gaining a point in their previous 0-0 draw against Alavés.
The Babazorros defence has struggled at The Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits. Sporting have managed to keep a clean sheet against Alavés in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
Sporting remains without a victory against Alavés in their previous 3 league encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sporting manager Miguel Ángel Ramírez ahead of this clash, with Pablo Insua (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Ángel Ramírez a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
