Gijon vs Albacete Prediction & Betting tips
The local team starts as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it has, which has allowed it to add many points in the last two months and position itself in a zone of direct ascent. For this reason and even when the visit is a complicated squad to overcome, we believe that the squad of Gijón has what it takes to add another win at the Molinón. At stake is not to lose footprint to Rayo Vallecano and not be overtaken by Huesca.
Sporting de Gijón:
The team equalized 0-0 against Cádiz as a visitor, unable to continue as co-leader with Rayo Vallecano. These days, he has 65 points in the table, leaving Rayo Vallecano 2, his strongest rival in the fight for direct promotion. With this draw, he cut a streak of several consecutive victories, a streak that has allowed him to position himself where he is. His goal is to maintain the second position or get the first, trying to overcome Huesca who seems to have recovered from the terrible soccer downturn suffered in March and part of April.
As a local in the Molinón, Sporting has added more than positive results so far thanks to its balance between lines and its offensive efficiency (13 wins, 3 draws and 2 falls, scoring 33 goals and conceding 10 on its fence). It comes from thrashing 4-0 to Cultural Leonesa, to beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 and to beat the rough Reus 2-1.
Albacete:
The present of the “white” box is not the best we can say after losing 0-1 with Reus as a local player and remaining with 46 units in the general table. He has added 5 matches without winning, product of 3 draws and 2 losses, costing him a lot to be regular in terms of results. Of course, despite everything, is still far from the direct decline. You need a couple more triumphs to completely forget about that topic.
As a visitor, Albacete has collected different scores, standing out as an uncomfortable set to overcome in this condition (3 wins, 8 equalities and 6 falls, scoring 11 goals and conceding 19 in his goal). It comes to equal 0-0 with Oviedo, of defeating 1-2 to Lorca, of defeating 1-2 at Sevilla Atlético, of drawing 0-0 with Huesca and of equaling 1-1 against Almería.
The last duel between both sets was in the first round and the final score was a parity 2-2 in the field of Albacete in November last year. In Molinón they clashed in February 2015 and Sporting de Gijón won 2-1.
