"Opening Sunday's fixtures sat just one-point adrift of skyrocketing themselves back into the play-off places, Sporting Gijon should feel that they have been handed a golden opportunity here. 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. Last seen in front of their own supporters securing a 2-1 victory against Huesca, it should be noted that Sporting have suffered just a single Segunda defeat on home soil since the end of September."
La Liga title race looks set to run to the wire with Barcelona taking centre stage among a packed Sunday schedule across Spain's top two divisions. Four notable Segunda fixtures provide additional intrigue and betting opportunities. Sporting Gijon sit one point outside the play-off places and have lost only once in five league matches, boasting strong home form and recent wins including a 2-1 victory over Huesca. Real Valladolid are embroiled in relegation trouble after a heavy 5-1 defeat at Granada, occupying a drop-zone position and facing pressure under Fran Escriba as they seek to arrest a poor run.
