Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-1
Zaragoza
After suffering a heavy 4-0 loss to Valencia in Copa del Rey, Sporting Gijon will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Zaragoza in the La Liga 2 round 24. Los Rojiblancos are on a four-match winless run in Segunda Division, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Zaragoza. Both Rivera and Cristo are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, whereas Juan Ferney Otero misses out through suspension.
Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Villarreal B, and we predict that they will take advantage of Gijon’s shaky defence. Ivan Monzon is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, both Giuliano Simeone and Sergio Bermejo should miss out through injuries. In the first half of the season Zaragoza defeated Sporting Gijon thanks to Victor Mollejo’s goal.
