UD Almería haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.

They have claimed a sum of 11 during that period and have conceded a total of 13.

• have not lost a league tie with Sporting Gijón in their previous 5 matches.
• have left without a victory over Sporting Gijón in their last 2 league games.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

Since tasting defeat last time out to Burgos in La Liga 2 action, Sporting Gijón and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Sporting Gijón managed 53% possession and 28 shots at goal with 9 of them on target. For Sporting Gijón, the goals were scored by Gelabert (53′) and Rosas (71′).

 Team News: UD Almería

In our view, UD Almería should employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Andres Fernandez, Daijiro Chirino, Nélson Monte, Federico Bonini, Álex Muñoz, G. Borges Guedes, Dion Lopy, Adrián Embarba, Sergio Arribas, Nico Melamed and Leo Baptistao.

 Team News: Sporting Gijón

It’s our belief that Rojiblancos will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Rubén Yáñez, Guille Rosas, Lucas Perrin, Pablo Vázquez, Diego Sánchez, Nacho Martín, Alex Corredera, Jonathan Dubasin, César Gelabert, Campos Gaspar and Juan Ferney Otero.

 Prediction

We envisage that Sporting Gijón have the capability to get a goal against this UD Almería lineup, although it probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 advantage for UD Almería after the 90. Hopefully this is a good one.
