In-depth Analysis
In terms of head-to-head records, Valencia clearly dominate Gijon. In the last 14 meetings across all competitions, the Bats have recorded eight wins, four draws and only two defeats. Even at El Molinon, Valencia have enjoyed away trips, collecting six wins, one draw and just one loss in their last eight visits.
However, recent form tells a different story, with Gijon holding the upper hand. The Segunda División side are currently on a four-match unbeaten run, including three wins and one draw. Looking further back, Gijon have lost only twice, drawn three and won seven of their last 12 matches in all competitions.
At home, Gijon remain unbeaten in their last six games, with three wins and three draws. This solid home form gives them confidence ahead of their Copa del Rey Round of 16 clash with Valencia.
Meanwhile, Valencia are struggling. They have managed just one win, four draws and two defeats in their last seven matches. Away from home, they are winless in four consecutive games within 90 minutes, recording two draws and two losses, raising serious doubts about their chances in this encounter.
