Sporting Gijon vs Eibar Prediction and Preview – 29/04/16
La Liga preview – Sporting Gijon vs Eibar prediction.
Gijon defender Ognjen Vranjes is suspended for this match which should see club captain Alberto Lora return to right-back. Aberlado is waiting on news of midfielders Rachid Ait-Atmane (head injury) and Alex Menendez (overload) before deciding his starting line up. Daniel N’Di should be eligible after resuming training this week but there remain doubts about left-winger Jony and central defender Jorge Mere who were both absent with calf injuries last weekend.
Dani Garcia returns from a one-match suspension and Eibar coach Jose Mendilibar faces a choice of two between the 25-year-old midfielder, Gonzalo Escalante and Adrian or a change in formation to accommodate all three. Japanese winger Takashi Inui is also available after missing last weekend’s draw against Deportivo. David Junca is set to continue at left-back while Antonio Luna recovers from a thigh problem.
Possible Line-ups
Sporting Gijon 4-2-3-1 formation: Cuellar; Lora, Hernandez, Lichnovsky, Lopez; Ait-Atmane, Mascarell; Halilovic, Perez, Menendez; Guerrero
Eibar 4-4-2 formation: Riesgo; Capa, dos Santos, Ramis, Junca; Keko, Garcia, Escalante, Inui; Baston, Enrich
