There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the La Liga 2 table so far. Here's the Alcorcón - Sporting Gijón latest:

The visiting Sporting Gijón played their last game only four days ago, a La Liga 2 match. That game, against Deportivo La Coruña, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sporting Gijón.

Alcorcón form and stats

With {4 La Liga 2 wins}, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Alcorcón are certainly not brimming with confidence.

It's back home for Alcorcón, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Real Zaragoza away with the result 3-1. Fran Sandaza and Stoichkov (2) found the net in that victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to Mirandés (1-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Alcorcón have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won four, drawn six and lost four.

The manager F. Fernández Díaz will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cádiz in only three days.

The Alcorcón fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. Alcorcón have conceded 23 in these home matches.

Sporting Gijón form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sporting Gijón so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-8 (win-draw-lose).

Gijón have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Diego Marino Villar. It's been 253 minutes since they last conceded in La Liga 2.

Gijón are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Deportivo La Coruña (placed 19th). Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Las Palmas.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sporting Gijón playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were three Gijón wins, seven draws and seven defeats.

After this away game Gijón return home for a La Liga 2 game against Real Oviedo. That game is only four sleeps after this.
