Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-0
Lugo
Sporting Gijon will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Ibiza when they take on Lugo at their Estadio El Molinon on Matchday 22. Los Rojiblancos did well to put an end to their ten-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Gijon aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Lugo.
As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Montenegro international Uros Djurdjevic, who scored his sixth goal of the season in the triumph over Ibiza. Lugo, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last four league fixtures. The visitors are only three points clear of the relegation zone, and seeing that Sporting Gijon aim to stay in the playoffs race, home win should be considered.
