Sporting Gijon will host Eibar at El Molinon on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have hit a rough patch in recent outings after a strong showing in October and have dropped down to ninth place in the table with 19 points from 13 matches.
They suffered a 2-1 away defeat to a struggling Mirandes side last time out, heading into the break a goal up following a penalty kick from Jonathan Dubasin before their opponents came from behind to snatch all three points in the second half.
Eibar, meanwhile, have endured a slow start to their season and will need to make significant improvements to avoid missing out on the promotion playoffs in back-to-back seasons. They returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-2 comeback victory over Albacete, featuring goals from Javier Marton and Jose Corpas, with the former netting a brace.
The visitors, who sit 13th in the table, are just two points above the drop zone and will be keen to widen that gap with maximum points on the road this weekend.
