Probable starting eleven: (source: Goal.com)

Sporting Gijon:
Colinas; Ramos, Botia, Gregory, Jose Angel; Matabuena, Rivera; Luis Moran, De las Cuevas, Castro; Barral

Sevilla:
Javi Varas; Konko, Dragutinovic, Redondo, Fernando Navarro; Navas, Zokora, Renato, Perotti; Negredo, Kanoute

At this meeting I see three reasons for draw.

1. Sevilla has a lot of injured players. Luis Fabiano is the most important player who will not play tonight. Others are Sebastien Squillaci, Julien Escudo, Sergio Sanchez, Manuel Redondo and Marc Valiente. Bad news is that on Wednesday game against Rangers Glasgow in UEFA Champions league Frederic Kanoute was injured. He leaved the pitch, but the last news are optimistic and he will probably occur. But big question is whether he will be able to put the maximum in this meeting. Because of so many absencees I think that Sevilla can not win in Gijon.

2. Sporting Gijon may not play nice, but they are very good at their El Molinon stadium. Until now Gijon is without defeat at home. Here are the results at last five games:

28. 11 SPA 1 Sp. Gijon-Villarreal 1:0 (0:0)
10. 11 SPA CUP Sp. Gijon-Huelva 1:1 (1:1)
08. 11 SPA 1 Sp. Gijon-Espanyol 1:0 (1:0)
24. 10 SPA 1 Sp. Gijon-Real M. 0:0 (0:0)
04. 10 SPA 1 Sp. Gijon-Mallorca 4:1 (0:1)

3. I think that everybody will be happy with one point here. This is a difficult visit for Sevilla, as they lost in last season with 0:1. I also believe that Sevilla players will be tired of non-stop playing on three fronts and we can not underesimate that fact.
