Match Facts:
R. Sporting (17th, 21 pts):
- The Asturians are enjoying one of their best turns of form. They are on a run after reaping consecutive victories against Real Sociedad (5-1) and away to Valencia CF (1-0). They were the first team to win at Mestalla since November 2014.
- The arrival of Ognjen Vranjes has given Abelardo Fernandez new alternatives for his defensive line. The Bosnian player made his debut at right-back against Valencia, and looked solid and reliable at the back.
RC Deportivo (9th, 30 pts):
- The Galicians are in desperate need of something to smile about. They have not won since 19 December, when they beat SD Eibar 2-0. Since then, they have managed four draws and two defeats.
- Lucas Perez remains their main attacking threat. The striker scored in the last two games and now stands on a total of 14 goals.
What's on in Gijon this weekend?
