Prediction: 1-1
Gijon
Elche will try to put an end to their four-game winless run in La Liga 2 when they welcome Sporting Gijon to their Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero on Saturday afternoon. Los Franjiverdes have collected only one point in total from the last four league matches, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat los Rojiblancos on home soil. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but forward Oscar Plano remains on the sidelines with a ligament injury.
Sporting Gijon, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Mirandes and Cartagena. As los Rojiblancos have found their best form of late, we predict that they are going to hold Elche to a draw in Saturday’s derby. Forward Victor Campuzano should be the only absentee in the visiting team. Miguel Ramirez is likely to stick to the 4-4-2 formation, with Djurdjevic and Gonzalez up front.
Highlighted Team (Elche):
Established in 1923, Elche is a Spanish club that competes in La Liga. Los Franjiverdes welcome their rivals at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, the stadium which can hold up to 33,732 spectators. The venue was opened on September 8, 1976.
Elche wear white shirts with green stripe and white shorts when playing at home, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey. The club’s biggest success came in 1969 as Elche made it to the Copa del rey final. Los Franjiverdes faced Club Atletico de Bilbao in the Spanish Cup final, with the Basques winning the match by one goal to nil.
The likes of Mario Pasalic, Ivan Bolado, Garry Rodrigues, Goran Djorovic, Albert Nadj, Wakaso, Moha, Carlos Sanchez, Ioan Andone, Enzo Roco, Dominique Malonga, Richmond Boakye, and Sory Kaba are some of the notable players who were part of the team in the past. Elche have never represented Spain in European competitions.
