- The team from Asturias wants to add its first three points at El Molinón since the two victories so far have been achieved away from home.

- Abelardo´s men have improved their offensive scheme as they have managed to score in the last four games after failing to find the net in the first three matches.

- One of the names of recent weeks is being Alex Menendez, who has brought forward his position on the field of play and is performing superbly as left half midfielder.
