Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sporting Gijon play host to Racing Santander at their Estadio El Molinon in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. Los Rojiblancos have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team continuing their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels. Midfielder Giovanni Zarfino is sidelined with an ACL injury, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Los Racinguistas, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Eldense. Santander are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but beating Sporting on the road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Gijon.
Highlighted Team (Gijon):
Sporting Gijon are a Spanish football club that competes in La Liga. Sporting Gijon’s home ground is El Molinon, the stadium that was built in 1908. El Molinon is the oldest football field in Spain and the capacity of the stadium is 30,000. Sporting Gijon’s home kit is red and white and the club’s main rivals are Real Oviedo.
The two teams take on each other in the Asturian derby. Sporting Gijon did remarkably well to finish the 1978/1979 La Liga campaign in second position in the standings and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Los Rojiblancos were runners-up in Spanish Copa Del Rey in 1981 and 1982, but they have yet to win the Spanish Cup.
The club was founded in 1905 and the club’s original name was Sporting Gijones. Sporting Gijon participated in the UEFA Cup on six occasions, but they did not record a good result in the European competition.
