Match Facts:
Sporting (19th, 17 pts)
- Turning around their home form could be key for the Asturians in their attempt to claw their way to safety. Rubi's side haven't won any of their last five games on their own patch (D1 L4), the club's worst such spell of results since ending a similar sequence in March last year.
- Sporting seem to have the measure of Deportivo at El Molinon. Two of the last four meetings at the stadium have gone the home team's way, with the other two being drawn. That represents the Gijon outfit's best-ever run against the Galicians.
Deportivo (17th, 19 pts)
- Not since a 2-0 success over CA Osasuna in December have Depor taken three points in LaLiga Santander, a barren stretch spanning eight rounds of fixtures (D4 L4).
- Hotshot Florin Andone has been something of a lone ranger this season. The Romanian has scored 31% of his side's goals in the league: only two players (Iago Aspas with 35% and Ruben Castro with 32%) have accounted for a larger chunk of their respective clubs' tallies.
