Leganes will host Sporting Gijon at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Segunda Division campaign. The home side have hit a rough patch in the league of late, although they remain hopeful of securing automatic promotion to La Liga.
They were beaten 1-0 by Albacete last time out, conceding the sole goal of the game in the opening 10 minutes and failing to find a way back into the game despite an improved second-half display.
Sporting Gijon, meanwhile, have mixed results in the league this season and now sit seventh in the table with 59 points, two points behind the promotion playoff spots. They beat relegation-threatened Andorra FC 5-2 in their last match with four different players getting on the scoresheet including Juan Otero, who netted a brace to take his league tally for the season to 10.
