Burgos CF
- Burgos CF are in 7th place in LaLiga 2 after 34 games with 57 points.
- They have a strong home record of eight wins, six draws and just three losses from 17 games in LaLiga 2.
- Their last three results include an impressive 1-0 away win over Real Valladolid and a 3-2 away victory at Albacete.
- They are unbeaten in their last 5 matches in all competitions (W3, D2).
- Luis Ramis has instilled a possession-based playing style, structured around a narrow 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, where he encourages his team to play through the thirds with patient build-up, positional overloads and full backs providing width.
- Ramis’s tweaks have made them much more solid at the back, conceding just 11 times in their 17 home fixtures this season (0.65 goals per game).
- David Gonzalez is Burgos’s main goal threat, he has nine goals in 33 LaLiga 2 appearances, but Sporting Gijon will need to be aware of the in-form Curro Sanchez who has three assists in his last 5 games.

- They have a much worse away record than home, losing their last two away games (W5, D1, L10).
- Gijon line up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system, where Borja Jimenez looks to make his side as compact as possible, prioritizing defensive organization, discipline and quick transitions.
