Real Madrid are set to host Sporting Gijon on Saturday just a week before El clasico in Barcelona. 

Real will receive Gijon as there is a list of injured Galacticos who will miss the match including Raphael Varane, Toni Kroos, Alvaro Morata and most importantly Gareth Bale.

Los Blancos have not lost in 30 matches in all competitions. A win on Saturday will increase their lead over defending champions Barcelona who will visits Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Gijon, on the other side, have lost all their 9 previous matches and have won only 3 times in 42 league matches at the Santiago Bernabeu.
