Prediction: 1-1
Gijon
Lugo and Sporting Gijon face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Estadio Anxo Carro. Lugo aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Zaragoza, and a win over Gijon will see them move a little closer to the playoffs berth. You should bear in mind that Mehdi Nafti’s men are eyeing their sixth home win of the season. Sporting Gijon, on the other hand, are eager to retain their spot in top six, meaning that a lively contest is on the cards on Monday evening.
Since both Lugo and Gijon are likely to go for a win, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. A man to watch in the away team will be former Partizan attacker Uros Djurdjevic, who scored his tenth goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Leganes. In their last meeting at Estadio Anxo Carro Sporting Gijon recorded a 2-1 win over Lugo.

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.
