Mirandes
Starting with the hosts, falling to a 1-0 loss away at Almeria over the weekend, Mirandes will certainly be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, while Los Rojillos might have only just about clung to their Segunda status last season, Alessio Lisci’s men have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Cementing their spot as one of Spain’s ultimate surprise packages, the former Levante boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Remarkably opening the midweek fixtures sat within touching distance of skyrocketing into the automatic promotion spots, Mirandes have collected 12 points from their previous five Segunda appearances. Signing off November with a rugged 1-0 win against Racing Santander, Wednesday’s hosts will also be excited by their continued success on home soil. In fact, Lisci’s camp have registered 13 points from their last five showdowns in Burgos.

Not making a single appearance across any competition since back on October 22nd, Sergio Postigo remains on the sidelines and will not feature here. However, aside from the vertex defender, Mirandes have reported a clean bill of health and have no fresh injury concerns to worry about.
Forced to settle for a spot on the bench away at Almeria over the weekend, one-time Real Betis youngster Julio Alonso could be handed a full recall. Recording three Segunda strikes in his previous five appearances, Alaves loanee Joaquin Panichelli will play a leading role in the final third.
Sporting Gijon
As for the visitors, while Sporting Gijon might have opened December with a much-welcomed 2-0 win at home against Cordoba, Ruben Albes’ side have come crashing back down to earth. Putting in a nightmare performance over the weekend as they slumped to a 3-1 drumming at the hands of Ferrol, Wednesday’s guests have lost each of their previous three appearances across all competitions. Crashing out of the Copa del Rey earlier in the month as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Racing Santander, Gijon have come tumbling out of the play-off places. Seeking some crucial stability, Albes’ men have registered just a sole win from any of their previous six showdowns against Segunda opposition. Likewise, age Asturias-based outfit have lost consecutive appearances on their travels for the first time since March.
