Sporting Gijón form and stats

Sporting Gijón have played 18 La Liga 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-7-2 (wins-draws-losses). The Gijón manager D. Gallego Rodríguez might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

U. Djurdjevic was the last player to score a league goal for Sporting Gijón and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Gijón haven't scored in 396 minutes. Sporting Gijón are confident in defense, having played 264 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

The home team returns to Estadio Municipal El Molinón after being equal after 90 minutes with Leganes (placed 4th) on their last time out; the La Liga 2 game ended 0-0. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Real Zaragoza the opponent.

The Gijón fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 18 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Gijón have only conceded 10 from their league home games.

Lugo form and stats

There's been little loot from Lugo's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 18 away games in the La Liga 2. Lugo, who have the most conceded goals (49) in La Liga 2, only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 5 draws. Lugo are desperate to end a 15-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Tenerife fixture. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Lugo have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the UD Logroñés game.

Lugo played 2-2 against Real Zaragoza in their previous match. Prior to that match, the Lugo manager R. Albés Yáñez faced defeat when travelling to Ponferradina and losing 0-2.

The attacking power of Lugo when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 18 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Lugo have conceded 35 goals in their away games.
