Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Monday’s football game between Sporting Gijon and Castellon will bring down the curtain on day 9 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. Los Rojiblancos aim to build on back-to-back wins over Zaragoza and Eibar and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Castellon. Fit-again midfielder Gaspar Campos is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against los Armeros, while both Eric Curbelo and Jose Angel remain in the recovery room.
Los Albinegros, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Tenerife and Eldense. As Castellon have been sharp offensively in recent weeks, both teams to score betting option should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Asturias. Sporting Gijon defenders should have Nigeria forward Kenneth Mamah, who scored a brace in the 3-2 triumph over Eldense.
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.
