The Spanish Segunda Division matchday 39 kicks off this weekend, with Huesca set to host Sporting Gijon at Estadio El Alcoraz on Saturday.
Both teams have endured a bleak campaign thus far this season. However, they will likely avoid the drop and ply their trade in the same division next season. Huesca will spend their 11th campaign in the Segunda Division next season. They are placed 12th after 39 games and boast 50 points but could forfeit that spot to Leganes or Zaragoza on 49 each. Huesca can also jump to ninth place if the results of other matches are favorable.
Sporting Gijon are placed sixth from bottom at number 17 and hold 41 points. They are relegation-threatened and must win two or more of the remaining matches to avoid the drop. They did not win a single match of their previous five outings.
Two red cards received from their last three matches could be a sign of desperation as the season draws to a close. The Rojiblancos must stand up to the challenge of Huesca if they intend to finish with some honors.
Huesca have recently been held to a draw at home on two occasions. It is not the right time of the season to concede another stalemate at home.
