Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sporting Gijon will be looking to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Ferrol when they face Burgos on Matchday 4. Los Rojiblancos are still producing much better showings at home than on the travels, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. The likes of Dani Queipo, Giovanni Zarfino, and Axel Bamba are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, did well to beat Real Oviedo thanks to Nino’s goal, but the match was marked with Unai Elgezabal’s injury as well. Fellow defender Gregorio Sierra is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI. Anyhow, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as Burgos are likely to stick to their defence-oriented strategy. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last six meetings in Segunda Division.
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.
