Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sporting Gijon will look to make a flying start to the season when they take on Levante on Saturday afternoon. Los Rojiblancos are undefeated in the previous five warm-up games and they are surely capable of making life difficult for los Levantinos. The opposition back-line should have Juan Otero at bay as the Colombia forward scored 10 goals in the Spanish second tier last term. Meanwhile, los Valencianos, did well to beat the likes of Villarreal B, Zaragoza, and Elche in the previous three friendly games.
Levante, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the promotion-chasing hosts. It has to be noted that the club chiefs have signed permanent deals with the likes of Jose Morales, Unai Eglezabal, Diego Pampin, and Vicente Iborra in the summer transfer window.
