Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Municipal de Ipurua when Eibar and Sporting Gijon square off against each other in the La Liga 2 round 8. Los Armeros aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Real Oviedo and you should know that they are eyeing their fourth home win of the process. Defender Aritz Arambarri serves a one-game ban, while both Jon Guruzeta and Jonmi Magunagoitia are out of contention with injuries.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, did well to beat Zaragoza 1-0 in their last league match, with Guillermo Rosas scoring the only goal of the match, but beating Eibar in the Basque Country is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at “Ipurua” and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils on Matchday 8. Eric Curbelo has joined fellow defender Jose Angel in Gijon’s recovery room, while midfielder Diego Sanchez remains doubtful.
