Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Almeria
Match Time & Date:
31 August 2024
20:30
Prediction: 1-0
Gijon
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tenerife, Almeria will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Sporting Gijon on Matchday 3. The Andalusians are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at los Rojiblancos. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Sporting Gijon.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Eldense. As Gijon have yet to find their best form in the new Segunda Division campaign, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. Jesus Bernal is pushing for a recall to Sporting’s starting line-up, while Jordy Caicedo faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s encounter. In their last meeting at the venue Almeria defeated Gijon 1-0.
Highlighted Team (Almeria):
UD Almeria is a Spanish club based in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Los Rojiblancos are one of the newer additions to the Spanish football system, with the club being founded on July 26, 1989.
Almeria suffered relegation to Segunda Division in the 2014/15 season, and they have been competing in the Spanish second tier ever since. Los Rojiblancos are well known for their white shirts with red stripes, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Sofiane Feghouli, Felipe Melo, Diego Alves, Veljko Paunovic, Aleix Vidal, Alvaro Negredo, Tomer Hemed, and Mate Bilic are some notable footballers who played for Almeria in the past. Fellow Andalusian clubs Sevilla, Malaga, and Granada are considered the club’s fiercest rivals.
The club’s biggest success in Copa del Rey came in the 2010/11 season when they made it to the semis of the prestigious competition. Nonetheless, Catalan giants Barcelona proved to be a big catch for Almeria in the Spanish Cup semi-finals.
