Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sporting Gijon and Cadiz square off against each other at Estadio El Molinon in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 game. Los Rojiblancos survived Sporting Gijon in the Copa del Rey round 1 and they are now on a quest to return to winning ways in Segunda Division following a thrilling 3-3 draw with Albacete. Victor Campuzano is pushing for a start, while defender Alex Bamba remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Yellow Submarine, meanwhile, defeated Jaen 3-0 in their Spanish Cup opener and given their fine display in a 2-0 victory over Real Oviedo, we predict that they are going to grab something from Saturday’s clash. Speaking of the visiting team, Javier Ontiveros returns to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the Copa del Rey triumph, while the are no fresh injury worries in Paco Lopez’s team.
