CD Mirandés

LLWLDL

CD Mirandés will be looking for an improved result here after the 1-0 La Liga 2 losing effort in their last game against FC Andorra.

In that match, CD Mirandés managed 30% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target. For their opponents, FC Andorra got 9 shots on goal with 2 on target. Jon Karrikaburu (78') was the scorer for FC Andorra.

In those games, CD Mirandés have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them come to 11. That trend might not be continued into this match, however.

🗞️ Team News: CD Mirandés

Javier Martón (Broken fibula) and Miguel Baeza (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for CD Mirandés boss Alessio Lisci.

It looks as if Rojillos look set to go for a 3-4-3 system for this game, utilising Ramón Juan, Pablo Ramón, Sergio Barcia, Barbu, Ilyas Chaira, A. Rodriguez Baro, Alberto Reina, Jonathan Gómez, Álvaro Sanz, Antonino La Gumina and Carlos Martín.

🗞️ Team News: Sporting Gijón

Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Sporting Gijón manager Miguel Ángel Ramírez to be concerned with. Víctor Campuzano (Muscle injury) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Rojiblancos seem likely to utilise a 4-4-2 lineup, starting the game with Rubén Yáñez, Guille Rosas, Pablo Insua, Rober Pier, José Angel, Haissem Hassan, Nacho Méndez, Nacho Martín, Campos Gaspar, Juan Ferney Otero and Uros Djurdjevic.

Sporting Gijón and CD Mirandés should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
