Sporting Gijon host Girona at the Estadio El Molinon in the Spanish Segunda Division on Sunday, with both sides having had contrasting seasons.
Sporting Gijon are currently 17th in the league, two points above the relegation zone. Abelardo Fernandez's side have been in terrible form of late and are winless in their last six games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Girona on Sunday
Girona, on the other hand, are currently fifth in the table, tied on points with Real Oviedo in sixth. Michel's side have faltered of late, having only won two of their last five games. They will look to bounce back with a win against Girona on Sunday.
Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
