"Last seen mounting a second-half comeback on their travels as they snatched a 1-1 stalemate away at Albacete, Borja Jimenez's men have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous five consecutive Segunda appearances. Signing off January with a thumping 30 romp at home against Mirandes, the former Leganes boss will also be excited by his side's extended success at the Estadio Municipal."
"As for the visitors, losing their La Liga status and coming under a huge amount of scrutiny last season, Real Valladolid find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Last seen putting in a woeful display as they slumped to a 5-1 drumming away at Granada, Sunday's guests are once again in the midst of another infamous relegation scrap."
Sporting Gijon sit one point adrift of the play-off places and approach the match with strong momentum and home advantage. The side has suffered just one defeat in five Segunda outings and mounted a 1-1 comeback at Albacete. Sporting finished January with a dominant 30 home victory over Mirandes and have lost only once at the Estadio Municipal since late September, winning recent home games by an aggregate 5-1. Real Valladolid dropped from La Liga and face intense scrutiny amid a relegation battle, suffering heavy defeats including 5-1 at Granada and four consecutive losses by 13-2 aggregate.
