Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at “Riazor” when Deportivo La Coruna take on Sporting Gijon on Sunday afternoon. The Galicians have been having their ups and downs of late and, no doubt, they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible following a 2-1 loss at Almeria. The time has come for Davo to sneak into the starting XI following a couple of fine performances, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, aim to overtake Real Oviedo in second place in the standings. Sporting’s away campaign has been a mixed bag, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. You should know that the two sides have shared the spoils in the previous two meetings in Segunda Division. Ruben Albes should have a full squad to choose from as well.
