Sporting Gijon vs Valladolid
Spain Segunda Division
Date: Sunday, 10th June 2018
Kick-Off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Estadio El Molinon (Gijon).
They were mostly in mid table throughout the season. They hit form at the right time and then managed to win their playoff. Due to some poor games in the regular part of the season, they failed to get into the first two positions that would otherwise given them automatic qualifications. Until their last match it was also uncertain if they could finish in the top six to make it into the playoffs. It was hard after the defeat by Zaragoza two matches before the end of the season but then they managed to beat Osasuna 2-0 in their final match.
It should be noted that they lost just once in their last eight matches. They managed one draw and six wins as well. Including their last win over when they played their last 15 minutes of the first half at a frantic pace. They have scored three goals and they will not be pleased that they conceded a goal in the second half, because a 3-0 win would assured them a place in the playoffs final. They will still keep their advantage heading into this match and they are not likely to make changesd although Anuar was a surprise in midfield in the first leg.
