Sporting Gijon are on the way to Segunda: they lost their last four games and now are in the relegation zone. Moreover, they scored no goals in the last three matches. These stats bring some hope to Jan Oblak who wants to keep a clean sheet for Atletico in the upcoming game as he did in 19 matches of La Liga this season.
Atletico Madrid won their last game against Sporting Gijon 1:0. And we can surely expect them to win to nil again.
Diego Simeone’s team had a tough game against PSV Eindhoven, but they have enough time to prepare for Sporting. Only Ferreira Carrasco is missing for Los Colchoneros, but he can’t be named a key player. While Sporting Gijon will play without Alen Halilovic, who is their most creative midfielder.
So we can expect Atletico Madrid to win in their style – solid in defence and sharp in attack, using all the mistakes of the opponent.
