Prediction: 2-0
Gijon
Huesca and Sporting Gijon take on each other at Estadio El Alcoraz in the opening match of La Liga 2 round 17. Los Azulgranas are two points behind the playoffs berth, and their fine home record is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism. Both Gerard Valentin and Angel Carrillo are major doubts, and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while forward Daniel Escriche is pushing for a start.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league fixtures. Sporting Gijon have recorded only one win on the road this term, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on Cuco Ziganda’s team. Both Alex Bamba and Nacho Mendez are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Aragon.

He was not Villarreal’s first-choice goalkeeper in the 2012/2013 campaign and he made no more than nine appearances for the Yellow Submarine.
