Sporting have had a great start to the season, but they have won only one game from their last nine. The hosts were defeated 3vs1 by Almeria away from home in the 21st round. Other sides now know what to expect from them in the top division. The key to their game with Valencia is to play very well in defence, because the visitors will have more chances. Gijon want to retain their Primera Division status at the season's end.  Valencia have had a good start to the season in all competitions. Los Che are in 3rd place in Primera Division and have suffered only three defeats. The retention of their best players David Villa, David Silva, Juan Mata and Joaquin was the key factor before the start of the actual season. David Villa is still one of the best strikers in the world. Although a topvsfour finish is always difficult to achieve in Primera, they definitely want a Champions League spot. Valencia want to win over Sporting and to stay at the top of the table.  It should be convincing away win
