Sporting Gijon, Recent FormSporting Gijon will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their away outing against Albacete Balompie. They came away from that fixture with 36% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Albacete Balompie managed 25 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at The Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at The Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro, marks a good spell of home form for Sporting Gijon.
On an individual basis, Gaspar Campos will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Sporting Gijon's last 6 league games.
Espanyol, Recent FormThe Espanyol squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Leganes, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Leganes' tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Luis García will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 5 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 5 clean sheets in 12 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Espanyol recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Martin Braithwaite will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Espanyol.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Sporting have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against Periquitos. When Espanyol visit Rojiblancos in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro in the league, but Espanyol will hold a slight psychological advantage having been unbeaten there in their last 4 visits.
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.
Espanyol manager Luis García has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
