Gijon
Zaragoza and Sporting Gijon go head to head at Estadio La Romareda in the opening match of La Liga 2 day 36. Los Blanquillos aim to Los Blanquillos aim to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 loss to Girona, but they face a difficult task in Friday’s clash against Sporting Gijon. Zaragoza have been producing fine displays at home ground of late, with the team recording three wins in the previous four home fixtures. Los Blanquillos are desperate to escape the danger zone, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the match.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, but despite their three-game losing run in Segunda Division, they remained in the playoffs berth. Victor Campuzano misses the Zaragoza game with injury, but Uros Djurdjevic is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Anyhow, share of spoils is on the cards as Zaragoza are tough to beat at home.
