Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Gijon
Following a goalless draw with Deportivo La Coruna, Elche will look to return to winning ways in La Liga 2 when they face Sporting Gijon on Matchday 10. Los Franjiverdes have been struggling up front of late, but Sunday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Forward Josan continues to miss out with a knee injury, while defender Carlos Clerc will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment as they are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. Sporting Gijon aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth, but beating Elche at Estadio Martinez Valero is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils in the round 10 game. Defender Eric Curbelo should be the only absentee in the visiting side this time out.
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.
