Prediction: 2-1
Gijon
Estadio Jose Zorilla will host Friday’s football game between Real Valladolid and Sporting Gijon. La Pucela made a slow start to the season, but they seem to be at the top of their game ahead of Matchday 25. Real Valladolid are on a seven-game winning run at home ground, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s clash. Ecuador international Gonzalo Plata is banned for the match, while Shon Weissman should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, are not enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting in the middle of the table ahead of the trip to Valladolid. Considering that los Rojiblancos struggle on the travels, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts. Serbia-born Montenegro international Uros Djurdjevic should continue to lead the line for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Óscar Plano):
A Madrid-born attacking midfielder, Oscar Plano was given a unique opportunity not many footballers get at the beginning of their fledgling careers. As a talented youngster making his first football steps with a local side of Mostoles, Oscar Plano was soon grabbed by mighty Real Madrid.
Having spent eight years going through youth setups of the La Liga heavyweights, Plano was given his competitive debut at Real Madrid C in 2010. A season later earned him a promotion to Real Madrid’s B setup where in three seasons in total he made 63 league appearances and scored 7 goals. Having become fully aware that a chance to represent one of the biggest clubs in the world might be unachievable, Oscar Plano moved to Alcoron in 2014.
More than a 100 matches in three years at Santo Domingo made him one of the key players for Los Alfareros. The Spanish midfielder made a great contribution with helping Valladolid secure promotion to Spanish top flight in 2017/18 with 44 La Liga 2 appearances and 6 goals.
Highlighted Team (Gijon):
Sporting Gijon are a Spanish football club that competes in La Liga. Sporting Gijon’s home ground is El Molinon, the stadium that was built in 1908. El Molinon is the oldest football field in Spain and the capacity of the stadium is 30,000. Sporting Gijon’s home kit is red and white and the club’s main rivals are Real Oviedo.
The two teams take on each other in the Asturian derby. Sporting Gijon did remarkably well to finish the 1978/1979 La Liga campaign in second position in the standings and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Los Rojiblancos were runners-up in Spanish Copa Del Rey in 1981 and 1982, but they have yet to win the Spanish Cup.
The club was founded in 1905 and the club’s original name was Sporting Gijones. Sporting Gijon participated in the UEFA Cup on six occasions, but they did not record a good result in the European competition.
