Safety has always been the main aim for the Islanders in the last years because Mallorca rebuild the team almost every season. A few important players like playmaker Arango and Jurado kept up the tradition and left the island club in the summer. But despite this fact they are playing very well and are in 5th place with 40 points . They won ten matches from eleven at ONO Estadi with an impressive score of 26:6 and are the biggest surprise of the league.  Sporting have had a solid start to La Liga. Gijon had one of the worst defences in the Primera Division last season, but this season has been different and they have conceded only 29 goals so far. This is the main reason why they are in 10th place with 31 points. The visitors have some fast players and are good on the counter-attack. The key to the game is going to be in defence, because both teams will have chances. 
There are valuable odds on home victory. Mallorca should narrowly win this game.
