Prediction: 2-1
Almeria
Sporting Gijon and Almeria square off against each other at Estadio El Molinon in the closing match of Saturday’s program. Los Rojiblancos are undefeated in the previous three league games, but they need to start winning on a regular basis to book their spot in the playoffs. Midfielder Lander Olaetxea serves a one-game ban due to accumulation of yellow cards, while Jordy Caicedo is a major doubt.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, aim to stay in the playoffs berth, but given their poor form in 2025, we are tempted to bet on Gijon, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Midfielder Silvi Clua Oya is banned for the away side, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. The likes of Gui Guedes, Rachad Fettal, and Iddrisu Baba are out of contention with injuries for 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.
