Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sporting Gijon play host to Ferrol at their Estadio El Molinon in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Los Rojiblancos aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Tenerife and a triumph over Ferrol will see them stay in the automatic promotion berth. Uros Djurdjevic serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Pablo Insua, Giovanni Zarfino, and Axel Bamba remain in the recovery room.
The newcomers, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Valladolid, sharing the spoils with Espanyol, while losing to Oviedo. Ferrol and Gijon seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the away team, Jesus Bernal misses out through suspension, while both Enrique Clemente and Luca Ferrone are sidelined with injuries.
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.
