Prediction: 1-2
Gijon
Malaga play host to Sporting Gijon at their Estadio La Rosaleda in what is expected to be a close Segunda Division encounter. Los Boquerones did well to beat Alcorcon in their first game of the year, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against los Rojiblancos. Since Malaga have no fewer than ten players positive for coronavirus, we are not tempted to put our money on the home side. Sporting, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Lugo.
Los Rojiblancos, though, should take advantage of ten absentees in Malaga’s team. Even though Juan Berrocal, Marc Valiente, and Puma Rodriguez have been tested positive for COVID-19, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away side. In the first half of the season los Rojiblancos defeated Malaga 2-1 at “Los Carmenes”.

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.
