The visiting Elche side should be favourites in this visit to Sporting Gijón, as the away team holds a 7 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Del Rey. That game, against Yeclano, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Elche.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Sporting Gijón form and stats
Sporting Gijón have collected 15 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 4-3-4.
Sporting Gijón haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 183 minutes ago. U. Djurdjevic scored that one.
The fans are hoping that Sporting Gijón will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the La Liga 2 game against Real Zaragoza (placed 3rd). Preceding that match was the home game against Extremadura UD that was lost 0-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sporting Gijón have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.
The manager M. Đukić will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Numancia in only four days.
The Sporting Gijón fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches. 12 goals have been conceded.
Elche form and stats
5-3-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Elche in their La Liga 2 matches away.

We have checked recent matches where Elche have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were W3-D6-L5.
Elche have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Elche have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
