Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
After failing to win the previous three league matches, Sporting Gijon will look to return to winning ways in La Liga 2 when they take on Andorra on Matchday 39. Los Rojiblancos are eager to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Haissem Hassan is sidelined through suspension, while fellow forward Victor Campuzano faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s clash.
Els Tricolors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Albacete. As the rock-bottom side have already suffered 11 defeats on the road this term, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Aurelien Scheidler and Alex Petxa are sidelined through suspension, while defender Diego Alende has yet to overcome an ankle injury. Forward Pablo Moreno is a major doubt.
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.
