All eyes will be on Estadio El Molinon when Sporting Gijon and Levante square off against each other in the La Liga 2 round 22. Sporting have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Lugo, sharing the spoils with Cartagena, while losing to Real Oviedo. Los Rojiblancos produce much better showings at home than on the travels, but Friday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
All Gio Zarfino, Izquierdoz, and Rivera remain on the sidelines with injuries, while there are no suspended players in the home team. Los Levantinos, on the other hand, aim to climb to top two in the standings. Levante have suffered only one loss on the road this season, but seeing that Sporting Gijon are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the horizon. As for the away team, Friday’s clash comes too early for Roger Brugue.
