Elche, Recent FormElche manager Sebastián Beccacece will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Real Zaragoza. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Real Zaragoza, who had 15 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Óscar Plano will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Elche.
Sporting Gijon, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 home win against Cartagena in their latest league match, Sporting Gijon will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they recorded 56 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 7 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have recorded 14 clean sheets in their 35 games so far this season.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Victor Campuzano will be hoping to create problems for Elche in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Sporting Gijon.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-0 win for Sporting Gijon.
In each of the previous 4 matches against Rojiblancos, Elche have let in at least one goal. Los Franjiverdes have struggled to break down the Sporting defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings. Sporting have managed to keep a clean sheet against Elche in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Sporting has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Elche in 5 games.
With no real injury worries, Elche manager Sebastián Beccacece will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Despite Pablo Insua (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season Sporting manager Miguel Ángel Ramírez will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
