Real Madrid is looking to build on their lead, while Sporting Gijon is fighting to stay in La Liga. It may seem easy, but Jose Mourinho and assistant coach Aitor Karanka agree that Real must be at their best.
Madrid lost to Sporting last year, as Sporting was one of only two teams to beat Madrid at the Bernabéu. This season, Real Madrid has only one loss at the Bernabéu, but it was a Classico against Barcelona, 3-1.
Mourinho will be serving a two-game ban after being given a red card against Real Murcia during Wednesday's Copa del Rey win.
Madrid has a four-point lead over Barcelona with one more Classico at Nau Camp to go.
This means that Madrid will have to put the foot on the accelerator and not be afraid to blow out their opponent, not letting their guard down against a team that looks inferior based on the current table standings.
