Sporting Gijon will host Real Racing Club at the El Molinon on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The home side enjoyed a bright start to their season, winning their first three games, but have lost their way since then and sit 15th in the league table, just one point above the relegation zone.
They suffered a 3-1 defeat to recently rejuvenated Castellon last weekend and could have little complaints about the result after being second best for the majority of the contest.
Real Racing Club have enjoyed a positive start to their season and are making an early push for consecutive appearances in the promotion playoffs. They returned to winning ways last time out as they beat 10-man Malaga 3-0, capitalizing on their numerical advantage to net all three goals in the second half and could have scored even more.
The visitors, who sit second in the Segunda Division, are level on points with Deportivo La Coruna at the top of the pile and could end the gameweek in first place with maximum points on the road on Sunday.
