Córdoba is in ninth place in the table after playing 30 matches and accumulating 43 points. To have a chance of entering the play-off, the team must win at home, at El Arcángel, although the task will not be easy as the team managed by Iván Ania is regaining its form.
With relegation practically assured and the goal of qualifying for the play-off still alive, Córdoba is preparing to face Sporting de Gijón at home at 21:00. The team is seven points behind the promotion play-off, currently held by Real Oviedo with 50 points, and has a nine-point advantage over the relegation zone.
On the other hand, Sporting de Gijón occupies twelfth place with 40 points and arrives at the match in high spirits after drawing with Deportivo the previous match day and accumulating seven consecutive matches without a loss as a visitor. Furthermore, in their last visit to El Arcángel, the team achieved a convincing victory over Granada.
For Córdoba, it is essential to make their home advantage count to demonstrate that the victory against Granada was not a fluke and to recover the strength as a home team that they showed in the first half of the season.
