Sabadell, penultimate, faces the visit of Sporting de Gijón with the need to win in their fiefdom, which they have not done for four months. The rival arrives full after beating the leader Mallorca with two goals from “Pichichi” Uros Djurdjevic, who already has 19 goals. David Gallego's team has not lost in the last two months, but the rojiblanco coach warned: “Sabadell have fewer points than they deserve per game.” Antonio Hidalgo, Harlequin coach, also praised the rival: “For me it is one of the best teams in the category”
Álvaro Vázquez is one of the protagonists of the week, as the Sabadell forward, on loan from Sporting, will not play because of the so-called “fear clause”, which will be a significant loss.
Antonio Hidalgo has another two absences due to injury in attack that reduce who will be Stoichkov and Guruzeta's partner in the offensive trident. They are Juan Hernández, with hamstring problems and Néstor Querol, who has been off the pitch for two months. Héber Pena could be the third local tip.
It should be noted as a curious fact that Víctor Campuzano (ex Espanyol) plays for Sporting, whose father, Felipe, played for Sabadell.
Alvaro Vazquez, KO
The forward joins the Sabadell infirmary. The Vallesano club reported that he suffers a hamstring injury. It is the second injury suffered by the Badalona player since he arrived at the club in January. To date he has played four games.
