With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second La Liga 2 game of the season. Girona look forward to welcoming Sporting Gijón in front of their home support.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Girona and Sporting Gijón.

It's quite the trip for Sporting Gijón when visiting Girona as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
