Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Wednesday’s football game at Estadio Municipal de Anduva pits together Mirandes and Sporting Gijon, the two top-table sides. Mirandes aim to climb to automatic promotion berth, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Forward Izeta is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while defender Sergio Postigo remains doubtful. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, losing to both Cartagena and Ferrol in the last two league matches and given Mirandes’ fine home record, there is a big value in betting on Alessio Lisci’s troops. Speaking of the away team, talented midfielder Nacho Martin is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league fixture. Defender Pablo Garcia is pushing for a recall as well.
Highlighted Team (Mirandes):
Mirandes is a Spanish club founded on May 3, 1927. Los Rojillos compete in Segunda division, with the team still eyeing their first ever promotion to La Liga. Mirandes’ home colours are red and black, while their away kit is mainly light blue.
Mirandes did remarkably well to make it to the Copa del Rey semis in the 2019/20 season, with the team outplaying the likes of Celta, Villarreal, and Sevilla in the process. Real Sociedad, though, proved to be a big catch for Mirandes in the Spanish Cup semis. Los Rojillos welcome their rivals at Estadio Municipal de Anduva. The stadium was opened back in 1950, with the venue being able to host 5,759 spectators.
Mirandes played their first game on June 4, 1927, with the team defeating Arabarra thanks to Fidel Angulo’s goal. Zaragoza and Alaves are considered one of the club’s main rivals. Los Rojillos have won Castilla and Leon Cup on two occasions (2011, 2012).
