Prediction: 2-1
Gijon
All eyes will be on Estadio de Gran Canaria when Las Palmas and Sporting Gijon face each other in the Segunda Division round 19. La Union Deportiva experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Leganes, but they did well to eliminate lower-league side Velez in the Copa del Rey on Thursday evening. Albania attacker Armando Sadiku is pushing for a start after finding the net in the Spanish Cup triumph.
Sporting Gijon, on the other hand, have been totally out form of late, with the team losing four of their last five league fixtures. Considering that Las Palmas have turned their Estadio de Gran Canaria into a real fortress, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. In their last meeting at the venue Las Palmas defeated Sporting Gijon 3-2.
Highlighted Player (Sergio Araujo):
Sergio Araujo was born in Buenos Aires on 28 January, 1992 and, as expected, he started playing for his home-town club Boca Juniors. He made just 19 appearances for Boca in the league and he played for the likes of Barcelona B, Tigre and Las Palmas on loan in the past as well.
The Argentine attacker scored 25 goals in 43 appearances for los Amarillos in the 2014/2015 Segunda Division campaign and despite the fact that he was linked with a move to Celtic and Real Sociedad, the club owners managed to sign a permanent deal with the former Boca Juniors footballer.
Araujo has three caps for Argentina U23 team and he represented la Albiceleste at the 2009 FIFA U17 World Cup. It has to be noted that he scored the winner for Argentina in the opening match of the tournament against Honduras. Araujo scored six goals in eight appearances for the Argentina U17 team. The pacey attacker has a contract with Las Palmas which expires on 30 June, 2020.
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.
