Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadi Nacional will host Sunday’s football game between Andorra and Sporting Gijon, the two bottom-table sides. Andorra do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team extending their losing run to five games at the weekend. The hosts are desperate to put an end to the negative trend, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s encounter. Marti Vila is out for the rest of the season, while fellow midfielder Adria Vilanova is a major doubt.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures. Since Gijon will go for a victory as well, we predict that both sides are going to score in the Estadi Nacional showdown. Both Alex Bamba and Nacho Mendez continue to miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
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.
