Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Following a 1-0 loss to Levante, Sporting Gijon will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Alcorcon in the La Liga 2 round 31. Los Rojiblancos continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the road and they are surely capable of beating los Alfareros at their Estadio El Molinon. Montenegro striker Uros Djurdjevic should be recalled to the starting XI as Juan Otero limped off with injury at the weekend, while midfielders Christian Rivera and Giovanni Zarfino remain in the recovery room.
Alcorcon, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run on the road, which is probably the main factor why we are going to bet on the home side. As for the visiting side, defender Oscar Rivas misses out through suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
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.
