Prediction: 1-0
Cartagena
Sporting Gijon and Cartagena take on each other at Estadio El Molinon in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Sporting Gijon aim to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive, and seeing that they are nine points behind top two, we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at los Albinegros. Despite failing to convert a penalty in the 2-0 loss to Castellon, Carmona should keep his place up front alongside Serbia international Djurdjevic.
Cartagena, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, and seeing that they collected only one point in total from the previous five league fixtures, we believe that punters can find value in betting on los Rojiblancos. In the first half of the season Cartagena defeated Sporting Gijon 1-0 thanks to Jose Gragera’s charges.
