The stats don’t lie, and Villarreal CF B have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals overall. At the back, Villarreal CF B certainly have room for improvement. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether that trend will continue on here in this game.

ℹ️ Team News: Sporting Gijón

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Sporting Gijón manager Miguel Ángel Ramírez to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group. Víctor Campuzano (Muscle injury) is out of contention.

We think that Rojiblancos will possibly use a 4-4-2 system this time, handing starts to Rubén Yáñez, José Angel, Pablo Insua, Carlos Izquierdoz, Diego Sánchez, Guille Rosas, Nacho Méndez, Campos Gaspar, Pablo García, Mario González and Uros Djurdjevic.

📰 Team News: Villarreal CF B

Thanks to a largely available squad, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Villarreal CF B manager Miguel Álvarez to be concerned about. Hugo Pérez (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Villarreal CF B might utilise a 4-4-2 lineup, starting Iker Álvarez, Adrià Altimira, Abraham Rando, Pablo Iniguez, Lanchi, Hugo Novoa, Pau Navarro, C. Adriano García, Carlos Romero, Javier Ontiveros and Alex Forés.

🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Sporting Gijón have it within them to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

However, Villarreal CF B may well struggle finding the net themselves although we do reckon that they could well end up scoring here.

We’re predicting a decent 3-1 winning score for Sporting Gijón at full-time.
