Prediction: 2-0
Amorebieta
After suffering elimination in Copa del Rey, Sporting Gijon will look to give fans something to cheer about when they take on Amorebieta at Estadio El Molinon on Sunday afternoon. Los Rojiblancos are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure a top-six finish. The club chiefs have been anything but active in the January transfer window, but they managed to keep hold of key attacker Uros Djurdjevic, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
Goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar remains on the sidelines with injury. The Basques, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last four league fixtures, but we do not believe that they are capable of holding Sporting Gijon to a draw. Midfielder Iker Bilbao misses out through suspension, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
