Sporting Gijon, in turn, aren’t in their best conditions. The team took only one win in their last 10 matches of the season and sit in relegation zone on 18th position with only 12 points gained. The team played eight away matches this season and failed to win a single one of them, recording two draws and six defeats. The last time Gijon side took away win back in the end of January, almost 11 months ago.
Eibar show solid results in matches at own stadium while today’s Sporting completely un competitive in away matches. Moreover, the visitors need resources to battle in LaLiga and Copa del Rey isn’t their priority.
Prediction for the match: Eibar to win.
