Sporting Gijon (Home)
- Sporting Gijon have been in erratic form in LaLiga 2 2025-2026 of late, winning two and losing three of their last five.
- However, this season has seen Jimenez’s men concede 21 goals in 20 home games in Spain’s second tier, so there is some room for improvement in the defensive areas.
- Jimenez’s changes in approach have brought about more measured possession phases and pressing in the right moments, allowing his side to create many goals, while his team’s danger man, Jonathan Dubasin, has been in fine form of late.
- The top scorer in the Sporting Gijon squad has 16 goals in 35 league appearances this season, while he has scored three of his team’s last seven.
Almeria (Away)
- Almeria, who currently sit in third place on 71 points from 39 games, have the quality of a promotion team this year, and their recent results have kept them in contention.

- On the road, Almeria have won seven, drawn six and lost seven of their 20 LaLiga 2 matches, and they have conceded 30 times.
