There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Sporting Gijón leading Real Zaragoza by 15 points.
- Sporting Gijón have not yet lost a game at home.
- Real Zaragoza has the most dropped points from leading position (11) in La Liga 2
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a La Liga 2 game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Almería. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Sporting Gijón form and stats
Sporting Gijón have performed here at Estadio Municipal El Molinón this season with 5 wins from 8 La Liga 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 235 minutes without scoring a league goal. U. Djurdjevic was the last player to find the net.
In their previous game, the manager D. Gallego Rodríguez led his Gijón to a defeat in the La Liga 2 match away at Espanyol. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Municipal El Molinón. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Albacete.
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 Gijón have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won eight times, drawn five and lost three.
Gijón are traveling soon after this match as the Copa Del Rey match at Quintanar del Rey awaits in three days.
The Gijón fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. Gijón have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Real Zaragoza form and stats
There's been little loot from Real Zaragoza's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the La Liga 2. Real Zaragoza only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 0 draws. A depressing seven defeats in a row for Zaragoza in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Leganés.
Two away games in a row for Zaragoza, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Almería in the La Liga 2. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Fuenlabrada.
We have checked recent matches where Zaragoza have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were one victory, three draws and five defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Zaragoza manager R. Baraja Vegas as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Gimnastica Torrelavega.
Zaragoza are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Zaragoza have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Sporting Gijón two wins, two draws and Real Zaragoza six victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
