Prediction: 1-1
Gijon
Villarreal B will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in La Liga 2 when they take on Sporting Gijon on Saturday afternoon. The Yellow Submarine reserve team have been struggling in front of goal of late, but this game could be the turning point for Miguel Alvarez’s troops. Antonio Espigares is banned for the match, while fellow midfielder Hugo Perez has yet to overcome a knee injury.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in all competitions and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As Villarreal B are capable of finding the net in front of home fans, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. As for the away team, both Giovanni Zarfino and Axel Bamba are sidelined with injuries, while Juan Ferney Otero will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
