Sporting Gijon Preview – Can Gijon finish in top six?
7th placed Sporting Gijon are two points behind 6th placed Rayo Vallecano ahead of this final match of the season in the Spanish second tier so the hosts know that they must take all three points in this upcoming clash against Almeria.
Sporting Gijon have won just two of their last nine matches overall but the good news for them is that both of these victories were picked up at home against Lugo and Las Palmas and Gijon have been fairly reliable at home, losing just twice all season to date.
A home record of 11-7-2 22/10 includes winning their last two home games on the trot and they’ve also kept a total of 11 clean sheets on home soil as well, while the hosts are unbeaten in their last eight meetings at home against Almeria, winning seven of these.
Almeria Preview – Can Almeria win back-to-back?
Almeria bounced back from a surprising 3-2 defeat away from home at Cartagena last time out in La Liga 2 with a 2-1 home win against Logrones and recent results have been reasonable enough for Almeria who have lost just one of their last seven matches overall.
This consistent run of results has helped Almeria confirm their place in the play-offs as they occupy 4th place but results on the road have been quite inconsistent as the visitors have won just three of their last 11 matches on their travels.
Almeria have also kept just three clean sheets in these last 11 away matches and this could be key to the outcome of this clash at Sporting Gijon.
