Prediction: 1-0
Gijon
Following back-to-back wins over Real Oviedo and Tenerife, Racing Santander will look to climb to the automatic promotion places when they face Sporting Gijon on Saturday afternoon. Os Racinguistas have been showing signs of improvement of late and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Gijon. Bear in mind, though, that defender Saul Garcia is banned for the match following his sending-off in the triumph over Tenerife.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Real Oviedo and they managed to get one. Gijon aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but given Santander’s fine form in the Spanish second tier, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Diego Sanchez limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Nacho Martin likely to replace him in the starting XI.
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.
