Sporting Gijon look to cement their place in the top four while Girona aim to bridge the three-point gap to the European places.
Sporting Gijon enter this fixture in 4th place with seven points, currently occupying a continental qualification spot. They have momentum on their side following back-to-back 1-0 victories against Tenerife and Burgos, part of a three-match unbeaten start to the campaign. Managerial stability and defensive solidity have been the hallmark of their early season, having not conceded a goal in their last 270 minutes of league football.
Girona sit 10th on four points, just two points adrift of the European places. They arrive at El Molinón following a volatile run of results, most recently dismantling Las Palmas 5-2 at home. However, Quique Álvarez’s side has struggled for consistency on the road, evidenced by their recent 2-1 defeat at Cordoba. They will be desperate to prove their high-scoring credentials against the league's meanest defence.
