The Mallorca & Sporting Gijón managers L. García Plaza and D. Gallego Rodríguez are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the La Liga 2 league table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Sporting Gijón have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
