Sporting Gijon vs Villarreal

Primera, Spain

Date: Saturday, 28 November, 2009

Stadium: Estadio Municipal El Molinon

In the last round Gijon drew goalless against Xerez, using the point to climb up on seventh place on the standings. Villarreal finally found their form and easily beat Valladolid 3:1.A minimum win over Espanyol was definitely a big boost for Gijon to reach a point in the duel against weak Xerez. The team lost only two games in the first eleven rounds, both of them away, while they are known as very dangerous hosts. After nine years these rivals meet last season when Gijon suffered a minimum win at home and also lost away 2:1. The only time Gijon won Villarreal was over ten years ago when both teams were playing in Segunda. The tradition favours the visitors that improved their form a lot so seems as it might pay off.  The problem for coach Manolo Preciado will certainly be the absence of two regular defenders, Alberto Botia and Jose Angel who earned serious injuries on the start pf the season, so Alain and Gerard Autet will start the match instead. Gijon defense was the same in the last round against Xerez and they can certainly be satisfied with a clean sheet, having in mind that the hosts missed numerous chances. Villarreal scored three goals in two games against Gijon, so think about betting on After a terrible start in the first six winless rounds, Villarreal won three of next five games. Their last victims were Valladolid in the game where Villarreal scored three goals in less than an hour. The hero of the game was double scorer Nilmar, while Rossi was the one to seal the deal. Former Manchester member, Giuseppe Rossi is in great form and he managed to get on the score sheet four times in the last six games. Having in mind that Rossi was the scorer in both games against Gijon last season, we think that might pay off. The big crisis in the team from Valencia suburbs finally ended after over two months and Villarreal can finally boast some good performance. A win over Malaga in the derby of the bottom was the turning point for Villarreal, as after that win they beat Tenerife 5:0 and Valladolid 3:1. That is not all when it comes to yellow submarine, as they recorded another convincing triumph in Europa League over Lazio (4:1). All in all crisis days are over. That is why we think that the visitors arrive to Gijon at the back of three league wins, aiming to record the first away triumph this season. Gijon are very dangerous at home, but this weekend they are hosting traditionally dangerous rival, Villarreal. We think that it is about time for Villarreal to record the first away win this season. Results and goal’s highlights, will be available soon..
