In the final gameweek of the Segunda Division this weekend, Sporting Gijon will host Las Palmas at the El Molinon on Sunday.
Sporting Gijon have endured a hugely disappointing campaign. They are set to end the season just outside the relegation zone, finishing three points behind the playoff spots last season. They played out a goalless draw against Fuenlabrada in their last game. Gijon were fortunate not to have lost the game, as they offered barely anything offensively.
They have picked up just 46 points from 41 games this season and sit 17th in the points table. With safety already assured, they will now look to end their campaign on a winning note.
Las Palmas, meanwhile, are in brilliant form at the moment and are looking to seal playoff football this weekend. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Real Oviedo in their last game, thanks to brilliant efforts from Alberto Moleiro and Jonathan Viera.
Pio Pio sit sixth in the league table with 67 points. They only need a point on Sunday to confirm a playoff spot.
