Real Zaragoza vs Sporting Gijon

Gijon have been the more consistent team, although they failed to turn up in their defeat to Santander. The loss ended their unbeaten start to the campaign, so Los Rojiblancos will seek an immediate response.

Zaragoza, meanwhile, registered their first win of the campaign last weekend and will want to build on that. However, Gijon could prove to be a tricky opponent, and the spoils could be shared in a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Real Zaragoza 1-1 Sporting Gijon
