Season ticket holders at Estadio Alvarez Claro haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Melilla languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Sporting Gijon II will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
