Broadcast info
Who's playing? Real Madrid travels to Gijón, where Sporting will host them hoping to keep all the points there. The red-and-white side is one of the teams currently involved in the fight to avoid relegation, and with only six games left in the competition, they can't afford to lose points. Maybe they will be able to benefit from Zidane's rotation policy, but the French boss' squad is quite capable, both with or without the BBC attack on the pitch.
What time? Saturday, April 15, at 07:15 PT/ 09:15 CT/ 10:15 ET/ 14:15 GMT/ 15:15 BST/ 16:15 CEST
What stadium? El Molinón, Gijón's stadium, will be the venue hosting this match. With its gates opening in 1908, this is one of the most traditional stadiums in Spain, hosting the Spanish National Team on occasion, and even being used as one of the venues that hosted the 1982 World Cup.

Team news
Sporting could deal with up to four absences: Burgui, Douglas, Lacina Traoré and Nacho Cases. Burgui is both out and ineligible to play, while the other players are recovering from different sorts of injuries.
Real Madrid will have to deal with two crucial injury absences: Raphael Varane and Pepe. The Portuguese defender may have played his final game in La Liga last week after being diagnosed with two fractured ribs following a clash against Toni Kroos. If that wasn't enough, Zidane chose to leave four key players out of Saturday's squad.
