Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sporting Gijon will look to climb to the automatic promotion berth when they take on Huesca in the La Liga 2 round 22. Los Rojiblancos have drawn each of their last three league matches, but they are seen as favourites to beat Huesca in front of home fans. Montenegro striker Uros Djurdjevic is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Carlos Izquierdoz and Nacho Mendez are banned for the match.
Los Azulgranas, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the Copa del Rey defeat to Rayo Vallecano. Huesca and Sporting Gijon seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on draw. As for the away side, all Aboubakary Kante, Joaquin Munoz, and Javi Mier are major doubts, while Jorge Pulido remains on the sidelines with a ligament injury.
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.
