This is the Asturian derby in La Liga 2. The two teams are just a point apart in the table, with Real Oviedo on 8 points from 6 matches and Sporting Gijón on 10 points from 6 matches. Whoever takes the three points here gets both the points and the bragging rights over their fellow Asturian rivals. Real Oviedo just lost 1-3 at home in their last match, but before that they had won three of their last five. Their attack still isn't sharp compared to the chances they create. As for Sporting Gijón, they just won 3-1 in their last match and are the side with more shots on target overall in the last 10 matches (4.2 per game versus 3.5), while clearly having less possession than the hosts (45.9% versus 50.2%). That reflects a counter-attacking game that waits for its moment rather than dominating with the ball. The pattern should be the hosts holding possession and pushing high, while Sporting Gijón sit back in a block and wait to counter at speed. If the hosts still aren't sharp like in their last match and let the game drag on, a tight finish with little separating the sides looks the way this one goes.
