Sporting Gijon look a potentially decent bet tomorrow away to Malaga. This game is 2nd v 3rd, but Malaga have been stuttering a bit of late, and although they've got an excellent 10-4-1 home record, they've drawn 2 of their last 3 homes, to Ejido (bottom) and Albacete (3rd from bottom). Sandwiched in between those games, they also managed to lose away to the remaining relegation zone team, Xerez.

Sporting are unbeaten in 8, and have the 2nd best away record in the division, 7-6-3, and have won away to Numancia (top) and Sociedad (4th) this season.

Team news pretty much in Sporting's favour - Malaga have an important first team defender suspended, Weligton, while Sporting will have one of their most important players, midfielder Kike Mateo (their 2nd top scorer) back, although he may start on the bench.
