Prediction: 0-0
Gijon
Ponferradina will be aiming to extend their winning run at home to three games when they face Sporting Gijon at Estadio El Toralin on Matchday 28. La Ponfe have been impressive on home soil of late, and a win over Sporting Gijon should see them climb to the playoffs berth in the Segunda Division standings. Yuri, who found the net in a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, have been in a promising form of late, with the team collecting ten points in total from the previous four league fixtures. Sporting Gijon are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Ponferradina, but given La Ponfe’s fine home record, we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. Serbia international Uros Djurdjevic will be the man to watch in the away team.

Curro Sanchez then joined Numancia, where he scored 13 goals in 34 appearances in Segunda Division for los Numantinos.
