Dep. La Coruna vs Gijon Prediction & Betting tips
It is no secret to anyone that the two teams can be neutralized in the midfield, being feasible that the process be fought from the initial stage. Against this background and knowing that the Galicians are competitive and balanced in the category. Remember that Sporting is a well-worked team by coach Rubén Baraja, and it is feasible that he will stand up well in Riazor. Paint for a 1-1 equality or a 2-0 or 2-1 win for either side.
Dep. La Coruna:
The Galicians equaled 2-2 against Tenerife last Saturday, reaching to add 5 units in the general table. The team arrives a little beaten, since it could win its last league presentation (triumph 1-2 partial with few seconds left for the final whistle). In spite of everything, it is still a well-worked eleventh, standing out for having more hierarchy than many of its rivals in the Liga2. For this match, technician Natxo González is expected to repeat the 4-3-1-2 system he has been using in the usual way.
This will be the first home match of the team after playing 3 straight as a visitor. Its objective is to take advantage of the field factor of Riazor to translate its collective proposal between lines. Of course, will seek to fully adapt to the category, being vital not to repeat the poor results harvested in the past Santander League. Do not rule out that risk at times and especially from the initial stage. Of course, all this will do but without losing balance in the midfield.
Sporting de Gijón:
The team arrives toned to this duel after winning 2-0 to promoted Extremadura and add their second consecutive win in the competition. These days, he has 7 points in the table, standing out for being a tactical and balanced between the lines. In matter of goals, he has scored 5 and only has given 1 in his fence, proving to be an effective set in attack and quite solid in defensive matters. He comes from winning two straight games at home, in which he did not give up a goal on his fence. For this duel it is expected that coach Baraja will repeat the 4-1-4-1 system he has been using regularly.
As a visitor, Sporting de Gijón already played a match so far, which was acceptable for their league interests (1-1 draw against Alcorcón with a goal converted to 48 minutes of the second half). For this exit, the team will take its precautions, as it will collide with one of the most competitive rivals in the Liga2. Of course, despite this, has the necessary players to generate situations and reach the goal. Therefore, we should not be surprised if he advances his lines in certain passages of the game.
In the last 4 and a half years, Deportivo and Sporting de Gijón have met 4 times in Riazor. These were the markers of those duels: Draw 1-1 in February 2014, victory 1-0 of Deportivo in August 2014 for a friendly of clubs, victory 2-3 of Sporting de Gijón in September 2015 and win 2-1 Deportivo in October 2016. It should be noted that these last two duels were for the Santander League. Apparently, every time both teams collide there are goals in between. Considering this, we believe that the pattern will be repeated once more and two goals will be scored at least throughout the 90 minutes of play.
