Team News

Sporting Gijon
Villarreal
  • Nacho Cases misses out due to suspension for the hosts.
  • With Omar Mascarell carrying a knock, Rachid should start in midfield.
  • Alberto Lora is expected to start at right-back, after rejoining first-team training.
  • Jaume Costa is Marcelino's only injury absentee heading into the final day.
  • Adrian Marin and Antonio Rukavina will battle it out to start at left-back.
  • Tomas Pina is expected to be preferred to Manu Trigueros in midfield, with Mateo Musacchio not risked in defence.

Prediction

  • Sporting have lost just one of their last five top-flight matches, with that solitary defeat coming at the hands of league leaders Barcelona.
  • Both Eibar and Sevilla have fallen victim to Abelardo's men at El Molinon recently, with another three points on the agenda this weekend to try and avoid the drop.
  • Villarreal have suffered defeats in their last two competitive games, with Deportivo picking up a win at El Madrigal last time out.
