Villarreal
will look to end the year in grand style as they travel to the Estadio El
Molinon to face Sporting Gijon. Villarreal coming back from an impressive home
win against Atletico Madrid last Monday, and will be looking to end the year in
the Uefa Champions League spot. Gijon on the other hand will be looking to
leave the relegation spot needing just a point to leave that position ahead of
the New Year.
Sporting
Gijon have lost four (4) of their last five (5) games in all competitions and
are will be looking for a turn around as they play host to the yellow
submarines (Villarreal).
The Yellow
Submarines are presently 4th on the table with 26 points. A win will
see them in 4th while a loose or draw could see them drop as low as
6th position going into the New Year. Villarreal has the best
defence in the league just conceding 10 goals four fewer than league leaders
Real Madrid and also 2nd best defence in Europe just one more than
Bayern Munich.
Sporting Gijon is presently on 18th position with 12points. A
win or draw will see them leave the relegation zone but a loose will see them
sink deeper.
Duje Cop is
the player to watch out for Sporting as he has netted 6 goals in 15 matches and
their assist King Moises Gomez with 4 assist this season. Nicola Sansone (5 goals)
is Villarreal go to man in terms of goals this season after their star striker
Roberto Soldado sustained an injury earlier this season.
