The 2-1 away defeat to Elche will not have sat easily with the Sporting Gijon squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  During that encounter they had 59% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 10 shots on goal.  

Manager Miguel Ángel Ramírez will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   When playing at home this season, they've notched up 9 clean sheets.  

It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.

Villarreal B will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 1-0 home win against Racing Ferrol in their last league encounter.  In that game they had 46% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Racing Ferrol who had 15 attempts and 3 on target.  

Miguel Álvarez will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 9 of their 18 games this season.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.  

Álex Forés 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 Villarreal B.
