Sporting Gijón form and stats
17 points is a decent return from 7 La Liga 2 games here at Estadio Municipal El Molinón for Sporting Gijón. The data says 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses.
The fans are hoping that Gijón will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the La Liga 2 game against Las Palmas (placed 13th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sabadell in a game that was won 3-1.
A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Las Palmas) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.

Albacete form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Albacete, who have the the worst goal difference (-11) in La Liga 2, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Albacete losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on L. Alcaraz González, the Albacete manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
A. Jimenez was the last player to score for the away team. Albacete haven't scored a league goal in the last 192 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Albacete in their previous game, as they lost their La Liga 2-match, hosting Tenerife, 0-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against UD Logrones wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Albacete are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, five draws and nine defeats. From a total of 16 matches.
After this away game Albacete return home for a La Liga 2 game against Girona. That game is only three sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Albacete's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 7 matches. In the opposite end, Albacete have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
